~900,000 population according to Chicago, Illinois Population 2016, 2015

That rate would put it on par with Baltimore. I think citing Chicago homicides in terms of murder rate can be a bit deceptive as the majority of homicides happen in black neighborhoods.

I added in cook county due to it being in the areas:francis:everybody that gets killed in chicago don't necessarily live in chicago.....

for example

Gilbert Leroy Wainwright III of Downers Grove found shot to death on Humboldt Park sidewalk
Clara Gonzalez of Lansing dies 30 minutes after being found with a gunshot wound in South Deering

These lists don't really mean shyt outside of shock value. Giving an entire city a murder rate is dumb as hell when in reality the violence is almost always isolated in certain areas, while there's other areas where no one has been murdered in years.

That's why It irks me when people talk about hesitation traveling or moving to a city because of violence, are you really traveling / moving to that city's worse area(s) fukking moron :what:

Then majority of murders committed are on some back and forth retaliatory shyt so basically the point is a random person has a very low chance of getting involved in some bullshyt unless they were looking for it regardless of where you at.
This.

MKE
Moved to Chicago in July. Milwaukee is hometown though. Really sad to see it on the list, but as the article states, nikkas just ain't got jobs in MKE like that. No major corporations and a majority blue collar workforce waiting for factory jobs that just don't exist any more. Add-in our republican governor Scott Walker who demonizes the cities and funnels away resources to the rural areas of Wisconsin. Sadly, it makes sense. I pray it gets better though.

I have a problem with the way Chicago is analyzed.

20 homicides happened in the loop, downtown chicago & gold coast tho
40 homicides for up north chicago :sas2:the cac part aka the safe part:hubie:


Homicides are spread throughout but concentrated in certain areas like englewood, roseland austin etc....

Black places wit no homicides like pill hill, calumet heights, cottage grove heights, Rosemoor, West chesterfield, Jeffrey Manor, Morgan Park etc.... Get throw in the bullshyt because its located on the southside:francis:

But in reality Englewood, Greater Grand Crossing & Roseland accounts for 68% of the homicides on the southside but not even 25% of the southside's population :scust:

With that being said quarantine Englewood & Greater Grand Crossing & Roseland for the southside..... Austin, Garfield Park & North Lawndale for the westside :yeshrug:
:mjlol:
