Chicago or Detroit?  Just guessing

For your survey, are you asking about murder in general or a specific crime? Homicide as apposed to manslaughter?

According to the US Census for the year 2001, it was New Mexico, with 19.8 suicides per 100,000 people (US National average is 10.8; lowest rate is in New York at 6.6).\n\nDon't ask me why it's higher in New Mexico than elsewhere...

No death penalty in Michigan, as far as I know.  I left Detroit thirteen years ago since the blacks had adequately trashed the city and whenever I talk about Detroit I call it F'd City.

societies which employ the death penalty have statistically tended to have higher rates of murder and violent crime than societies which don't.\n\ncurrently among the western democracies only the usa has a high profile capital sanction - and unsurprisingly there are several american cities whose annual murder rate is higher than most european countries.\n\namericans don't mind this. they are happy to have school shootings as long as they know somebody somewhere is having a lethal injection.\n\namericans are morons.

Washington DC\n\nAt a press conference following Human Kindness Day in Washington, DC on May 10, 1975, police reported that there had been 600 arrests, 150 smashed windows, 42 looted refreshment stands, 17 stonings of uniformed officers, 33 fires, 120 cases of public brawling, and 14 cars demolished in Constitution Avenue.]\n\nhttp://anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=3434

Probably not what you are looking for, but according to my sources:\n\nAs of the census of 2000, there are 1,188,580 people, 451,833 households, and 266,581 families residing in the city. The population density is 1,339.7/km² (3,469.9/mi²). There are 484,117 housing units at an average density of 545.7/km² (1,413.3/mi²). The racial makeup of the city is 50.83% White, 25.91% Black or African American, 0.54% Native American, 2.70% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 17.24% from other races, and 2.72% from two or more races. 35.55% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race. Hispanics outnumbered African-Americans for the first time in the 2000 census as the largest minority group in Dallas. Many newly-arrived Hispanics have settled in poorer neighborhoods like Oak Cliff that were once predominately African American. While Hispanics have moved in, many African Americans have migrated further south to cities like Cedar Hill or DeSoto that were predominately White communities until recently.\n\nThere are 451,833 households out of which 30.3% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 38.8% are married couples living together, 14.9% have a female householder with no husband present, and 41.0% are non-families. 32.9% of all households are made up of individuals and 6.5% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 2.58 and the average family size is 3.37.\n\nIn the city the population is spread out with 26.6% under the age of 18, 11.8% from 18 to 24, 35.3% from 25 to 44, 17.7% from 45 to 64, and 8.6% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 30 years. For every 100 females there are 101.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 100.5 males.\n\nThe median income for a household in the city is $37,628, and the median income for a family is $40,921. Males have a median income of $31,149 versus $28,235 for females. The per capita income for the city is $22,183. 17.8% of the population and 14.9% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 25.1% of those under the age of 18 and 13.1% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line.\n\nThat pretty much tells you all about who lives in Dallas.

i believe Honolulu, Hawaii has the highest cost of living for the USA.. I believe San Francisco is second......i live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX area..we have a very reasonable cost of living here as does most of TX, because we have no state income tax, and because real estate taxes are pretty low, compared to the rest of the USA.. we generally have no snow days here either--i have been here 32 yrs, and have not shoveled snow in that time ..32 yrs..WOW

It's a pretty violent place. There are safer places in the U.S. Good luck to you.

You might try a website called Homicide in Chicago 1870-1930.  It features a Crime Commission Report for 1915.  It seems to be a very large and complex research site and features among much more, an Interactive Database where you may be able to pin this information down. http://homicide.northwestern.edu/pubs/ccreport/

Rate. It means how many percent of the population get murdered, not the number of ppl who got murdered in a country! so USA is a stupid answer. and I don't know the answer.

If the unemployment rate increased the crime rate would also rise.  The two are highly correlated.  Look at cities with high unemployment rates and compare their crime rates to cities with lower unemployment rates.

Well the city that pays the most probably has the highest cost of living, so that might not be your best search criteria. For pay rates, check the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook at:\nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/

Any answer you get is going to be misleading- DC isn't a standalone city, like Topeka.  Any numbers are influenced by the (far more populous) suburban areas in Maryland and Virginia.  If you're curious in relation to the DC handgun ban, that fact is going to make any number worthless.  Sure, you can't buy a handgun in DC, but a 10 minute car ride (or hell, a trip on the subway) across the border into Virginia and it's not such a big deal.  I'm including a link to the Metropolitan Police Department website, that shows the number of homicides for this year.
