All right! Let's see what we got here. Hum. Well, I'll have to juggle a few numbers (pick out the 50 biggest and write a little chart) but this gets me much closer to where I want to be. Thanks. P.S. I wonder when all the great stats from the '10 census will make their way into a one easily digestible book?
Since nobody else has taken a crack at it, I thought I'd do it. Of the top 50 metro areas, neither Chicago nor Minneapolis are calculated in the previously linked page with an overall crime rate. Providence (inexplicably) isn't even listed at all. So, Here are the 47 remaining of the 50 metros listed from lowest to highest overall violent crime rates:

Chicago's violent crime numbers show up as N/A at the FBI because the Chicago police department defines rape differently than basically the rest of the US.

Here's a Top 10 list that was just released with recent data. Orlando topped the list as "most dangerous" with the highest rate of violent crime per capita.
You might be sorry you noticed that because the one I left off was Nashville. Its violent crime rate is way up there at 650.8. I fix it in a reply to my initial post.
