But wouldn’t the “per 100,000 people” scale even out the discrepancy?

STL proper accounts for only 300k of the metro's population of nearly 3 million and contains the majority of homicides. Most metros aren't divided that way

Where is Chicago?

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

#14, so not on this list on top 10.

Missouri is represented twice in the list, with St Louis as the worst, and Kansas city not far behind.
