NYC's murder rate was actually below the national average. Probably higher than the NY state average, though.

For Atlanta I went to the Police crime reports and added them up by Zone. I got 73, but that's only through December 15. I'd like to see a real number. It would be great if we could be <80 at least.

Indianapolis ended with 146, up from 115 the year before. That's a final rate of 17.3/100,000

I always look and compare two cities I lived in which are the same size in city population, Seattle and DC.

Seattle 23
DC 103

DC's numbers have come down considerably
