St Louis is worse than Detroit right now? I’m not talking about crime, just in general.

It depends on the perspective. Detroit is a much bigger city and has more attractions than St. Louis. Even with crime Detroit has a developing African-American middle class, and heavy gentrification. St. Louis doesn't have that man attractions.

My uncle is out there and said its a war zone with how dudes are killing each other left and right. My grandmother's old neighborhood was a normal working class place growing up and I remember it but he says its just destroyed now. :hhh:

Thats most hoods in Detroit too. Watch “The rise and fall of Detroit” on YouTube sums up most black areas around America

It's all relative.

St. Louis has a murder rate about half of what Washington D.C., Gary, Indiana, and New Orleans had in the '80s & '90s.

What happened was crime went down everywhere else, but St. Louis is still on some '90s shyt.

DC, Gary, New York, and Bmore, had higher murder rates than modern-day St. Louis. Those cities are also seeing heavy gentrification and a lot of projects being destroyed.

I just looked on the fbi website

Washington DC murder rate peaked at 80 per 100k in 1991

New Orleans peaked at 85 in 1994

Gary peaked at 89 in 96 and 93

Baltimore peaked at 47 in the 90s in 1998

St Louis peaked at 69 in 93 now over 20 years later st Louis is on track to beat all of those cities except maybe Gary

But don't forget east st Louis Illinois which has had consecutive years of a murder rate of over 100

Washington DC got hit really hard. You look at most other major cities and the murder rates got a little higher during the crack epidemic. The 70s and early 80s were fukked up too. DC though, with a population of 700-800 thousand, the murder rate actually tripled in a 3-4 year period.

Yea Washington DC literally got significantly more violent over night. Same with new Orleans as well.

On the flip side it's just as interesting how the opposite happened with Dallas and Fort worth

During the 80s Dallas and Fort worth had extremely high murder rates for cities of that size. At the time they had higher murder rates than dc new Orleans, Chicago, Philly etc... Then it seem like out of nowhere in the mid 90s the murder rate just cuz in half, and got even lower after that

For example in 1986 Fort worth had 400,000 ppl with 200 homicides making it one of the most dangerous cities that year


Fast forward to now Fort worth has over 800,000 ppl and gets under 70 homicides a year
