re: Baton Rouge and New Orleans are significantly more dangerous than Chicago

Chicago is a lot wealthier per capita than most areas in the South. Chicago has three or four really bad neighborhoods, the rest of the city is either middle income or upper class. A lot of you guys need to get out more or do your own research.

All of the BR killings happen in a handful of neighborhoods, where I wouldn't be caught dead (no pun intended). Hoodrats gotta hoodrat.

Birmingham, Jackson and Kansas City had a higher rate so Nola was 7th. It's still pathetic that a top 10 murder rate was cause for celebration but get your facts straight before you shite on my shithole.
Google it. Those are the stats from 2019.

I wouldn't go that far, but much of the city is fine.
Fairly large swaths of the Southside and Westside are dangerous as hell, but they've been somewhat emptied out over the last thirty years as people with the means to do so have left. The neighborhoods left have continued in the cycle of poverty and violence. It has helped that much of what used to be an absolute hellhole has gentrified pretty significantly in the last twenty years - South Loop and parts of Bronzeville, much of the near Westside, Old Town (where Cabrini used to be), Uptown/Edgewater/Rogers Park, Andersonville...
The city is not on a good trajectory right now, though, especially the areas near Northside close to downtown.

how many of those are white people?
Posted on 9/15/20 at 1:42 pm to dewster
Because statistically speaking, that’s damn near all black on black murder. Since I’m white, my chances of getting shot in either of those cities on your list are about the same as me being shot in fricking Mayberry.

WGNO: Murders up 47.6%

According to New Orleans City Council’s crime dashboard, non-fatal shootings are up 41.6% since 2019. Murders are up 47.6%. There’s been 39 more deaths as compared to this time last year.

Want to hear a crazy stat?
Latin America has 8% of the people in the world. They commit 38% of all the murders. In Latin America 80% of the murders occur on 2% of the streets.
Environment matters.

When you say Ferriday do you mean Blue Light Alley or Lake Concordia?

No wonder why I feel comfortable in Detroit. Same as Baton Rouge...

Didn’t say it was moving the stat - I just said sweep the ghetto killings under the rug with the serial killers and don’t mention it - that’s what BR does

Except for the old woman killed in her carport - but that might be technically St George

This doesn’t make any sense.
There’s a billboard with the murder count on I-12. Is that “sweeping it under the rug”?
What is Broome doing that’s different from Destroya? They are both shitty mayors that are ignoring the issue from what I can see.

Pretty much - shouldn’t it be on the I-110?

Just putting this out there, since so many OT'rs think Chicago is a shite hole.
New Orleans Population = 390,000
Baton Rouge Population = 270,000
Chicago Population = 2,670,000
Chicago is 4 times as large, population wise. So while i agree that NO and BR are having a "thuggin it and loving it" problem, for Chicago to have such a high rate with nearly 3 million people residing in it, is pretty staggering.

A long tradition of Democrat leadership with a justice system that is very weak on crime.
That's not the main problem. Look at San Francisco and Portland. Think demographics.
I have made a first pass at simple linear regression using the 45 cities with the highest murder rates (dependent variable or "Y" axis) and percentage AA population (independent variable or "X" axis).
Anyone one to guess the correlation (R Squared)?
A similar analysis using income levels as the independent variable might show a similar result, but I haven't done that yet.

Chicago is 32% black while Baton Rouge is 55% black and New Orleans is 60% black.
