While the city has a lot of killing n etc but you do know it’s very big n the numbers aren’t release n slot of unsolved murders won’t count keep in mind that example nyc n nj are wonderful states but nyc city is horrible but since it’s so big it’s not considered that bad but Chicago n nyc has the craziest youth
I think Portland is probably somewhere on that list but sadly it’s a smaller city and the local government is refusing to give any information or statistics on the city the ones they do give out are obviously wrong and don’t have sources
@@TheVideoGameBandNerd Visit my sister every summer on 7 mile and trust me that city is far from normal 😂. I’m born and raised in Atl and the crime here ain’t got shit on Detroit
@@BTRshowthat is because it's violent crimes per certain amount of ppl (I'm guessing 10,000). there are many sreas that are safe in NY, I can say detroit and st Louis two places I've visited b4 as well are def should be higher. I was literally watching some street fight between two groups near the Belle isle Bridge area in detroit one day go at it, it was acc pretty crazy
St. Louis is lit. Dated a girl from there for a while, basically lived with her... she was almost kidnapped on multiple occasions, we heard gunshots at least 2-3 nights a week... Hell, I got stuck in an art store as a teenager there because some highschool gangs got into a knife fight in the entrance 😄
My dad and I drove through to drop off a trailer. Passed by an apartment block on the way. On our way back, half the block was on fire and people were throwing stuff at the firefighters, cops and EMTs who were trying to keep everyone safe.
I just knew home sweet home would make the list. 32 years in the greater Memphis area. All my life. Mind your own business, keep your head down and be humble. People leave you alone. Love it here.
I love where I live too and I don't have to keep my head down like a sheep. I've been to Memphis there are much better places to live though. To each his own
I went to St Louis to the company i worked overseas, as a foreigner I had no idea of the dangerous of the city. I use to walk in remote roads from A to B all the time, remember this time i was coming back from Target which was beside the hotel and this woman in a van stop beside me asking if I could spare her some cash for gas, I gave her 11USD and there is a moment she keep looking in the back seat whispering to someone, after this I realized they maybe was intending to kidnap me.
My dad used to own a shop on south university… we’d have bullet holes in our roof from stray bullets being shot in the air One time we were leaving and saw a guy walking down the road with an axe.. not five minutes later was our security company calling us cuz he’d broken in
Lifestyle is a big part of whether or not you experience any crime or danger. Anyone can be a victim of random violence, but a lot of the violence people experience is lifestyle.
Lived in the Metro East for 15 years now. St. Louis is fine. All that BS happens in neighborhoods none of us ever set foot in. It is not dangerous for the general public. Go downtown to the Cards or Blue game, or a concert... it's perfectly safe. If you take out North County then the rest of the city is awesome.
@@mdeck2822 I'm well aware. I lived in SoCal for 4 years, and San Antonio for 2 years. Both of those places are way more dangerous than St. Louis is for regular people. STL murders are 95% black on black crimes. Gang shit gone wrong as usual.
@@samadagoat7769 I think even Saginaw took it per capita at one point . East genessee in Saginaw is where I almost got capped a few times 😭 last time I almost got my caddy stolen and drove through three red lights with my goddamn head down 😂🤣
These are done yearly. Many cities are at an up and down when it comes to this. The only cities I see always on this list is Detroit and Baltimore. Everything other placement seems to shift a lot. Don’t really know why though..
I went to Manhattan and Brooklyn this past December, ngl I was kinda on the edge expecting to see crime and to hear gunshots at night, but it’s honestly pretty chill. Yeah there’s a bunch of homeless people and some sketchy areas, but we were never in dangerous situations.
@@mike_404 yeah. We stayed in a pretty cool Air BnB in a nice part of town next to Central Park. Like I said we were there in December so we watched some Christmas movies themed around New York like Elf and Home Alone 2 and even ordered the famous Joes Pizza.
It’s nice to hear ppl talking abt Memphis online but not in this context… the funny thing is that for locals it’s srsly not bad just stay inside and buy a house in a safer part of town and shut ur mouth…
I knew Baltimore was bad and I didn’t know if they would be #1. I never knew St. Louis was that dangerous tbh. I thought it was just one of those random cities no one cares about
Just want to point out the reason why people automatically think it’s Chicago is because of how much the Black community in Chicago gets painted as dangerous, etc. by the media same as places like Campton.
They're not afraid it's just your comments get deleted and they make it so you can't post for 24 hours. Just happened to me the other day. Part of the reason it will continue because they want to protect the criminals
@@butcher5041 I don't have to, I have lived in NYC for 4 years. From 2018bto 2022. I am not saying there are no crimes but to suggest it's the most violent city without living in every city in US is just stupid. So unless you have lived in all those cities in the list I would suggest you to GTFOH. 😁
It is just because the states changed the rules that a lot of crimes do not count as crimes right now. A lot of stealing, robbery are not reported. They also defunded the police. People don’t report crimes nowadays = no crime. Police not accept cases = no crimes. These are top five crime rate cities just because those cases are accepted by the police department. Chicago, SF, NY are still most dangerous underground.😢
Chicago isn’t in the top 20. Chicago has some very rough neighborhoods but the image painted in media is b.s. It is more violent than the two cities that have bigger populations, New York and L.A., but not as violent, per capita, as a few dozen cities including the ones listed here.
Aye bro St. Louis is just bad after dark when the city shuts down. Seriously tho depending on who you are don’t just go on a night walk around the blocks. You might think you’re in a nice area cuz you could be down town or by the arch but it’s not like those other big cities where people party on the streets. People go to events and then go home or to bars and clubs. Nobody should be walking around in St. Louis at night and don’t check the dumpsters.
If Detroit is number 2, America truly isn't very dangerous. I used to walk miles alone at night and nothing bad happened to me. However shootings are bad for the people who actually live there. I've seen a few as I was a drug user
I thought Wilmington Delaware was number one. It was couple years ago ..for how small Wilmington is compared to these cities it had shootings every night for a long time ,still does
@@hanaj As at 2018, there were 19,485 recognised cities in the US. Chicago is currently 20th in terms of violent crime. 1,099 such crimes for every 100,000 citizens. You may not be in the top 10, but statistics show you are in the top 0.1 percent for violent crime. Hardly the glowing beacon of safety you think it is. But, sure... a news channel is the problem, not the crime wave. Without Fox reporting, the crimes would just fizzle away and everyone would live in harmony.
as someone born and raised in memphis and sadly still stuck in this shithole.. we know the list. its basicslly the only thing we rank on. i knew instantly det, st louis, little rock, and us.. blatimore i would of taken a few tries
San Francisco got some sketchy hood neighborhoods.I knew this dude that use to live in the hood in San Francisco and one night his cousin got shot and killed in a drive by shooting 15 years ago.I think tbe neighborhood he was in was Filmore district
This List is nonsense . Here's the REAL List 1 New Orleans 2 Chicago 3 Detroit 4 San Francisco 5 Los Angeles 6 Baltimore 7 Little Rock 8 St Louis 9 Memphis 10 New York
At least we can appreciate the PR machine of the GOP is working. His first few guesses were way off base but definitely play into the narrative that has suffocated America from any form of rational or critical thought..
I’m going to guess before I listen to the rest of the short. Gary, Indiana, Youngstown, Ohio, Baltimore, Maryland, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Oakland, California? 🤷♂️
I failed miserably!!! Holy shitttt-I can’t believe Philly isn’t on there?! Baltimore is a given!! Little Rock, I just started hearing about.. Detroit is another given.. St Louis I figured… NYC, obviously NOT!!! Memphis,, never thought of it…
HBO did a documentary in the mid 90s called 'Bangin in Little Rock'. It covered the wave of gang violence and its victims. Interesting watch but they do show some of the kids that were wounded and scarred
Most of these city rankings are flawed because it's going by hard city limits and ignores the greater metro areas that may be under different city names and encompass more unfavorable results.
It's all about the numbers. It all has to do with crime per 100k of population. So, smaller cities will have a greater ratio and rank higher than larger ones.
I've been to most of these cities during my travels. I would have to disagree. North Little Rock is more dangerous and it is terrible to live there. You will continuously hear sirens at all hours and if you watch the news you'll get very depressed at all the bad things happening. I respect the heck out of the North Little Rock Police because I don't know how they do it. They work their butts off. I have no clue how in the world they keep people down there.
