CBS News compiled a list of the supposedly deadliest
U.S. cities, based on data for the first six months of 2017 compiled by
the Major City Chiefs Association. St. Louis is listed as the city with the
highest homicide rate, 29.1 per 100,000 population. Baltimore is second, at
27.3, followed by New Orleans, 24.5, Detroit, 20.2 and Cleveland, 14.5.
Pittsburgh was a surprise at number 16 on the list, with 8.6 murders per 100,000 people.
Chicago has been notable for its high murder totals
in recent years, but on a per capita basis, the city ranks only number eight on
CBS’s list, with a rate of 12.1 per 100,000 population. The FBI and
criminologists warn against using crime data to rank cities, saying it can
produce misleading results because of vagaries in city boundaries and other
factors.
