Damn, that number is hardly believable.
Fwiw, although Chicago's gun violence is a serious problem, it actually has a lower crime index rating than Houston, according to city-data.com
Also, as of 2014, New Orleans had a roughly 80% higher murder rate and a higher crime index than Chicago. Baton Rouge also had a higher murder rate and crime index score.

You're equating all types of crime. A murder in Chicago is the same as a car being stolen or vandalism in Houston, for example. Chicago has a higher rate of murder, rape, and assault.

Those are measure according to population and typically should be viewed by cities of similar size. The reason is smaller cities can easily have lower crime yet a much higher rate of crime. An example would be walker Louisiana. 6000 people and a few years back they had a murder. If measured by the same standard walker would have had a murder rate that year of roughly 17. Compare that to a town who every year has 10 murders with population of 100,000. Which one is actually safer, the one town that had one murder in years of the one that has 10 every year?
