Travis County is notably blue and yet Austin remains year after year one of the safest cities of 1,000,000 or more. I think it’s rare if Austin has over 35 murders a year.
Can we get some more demographics?

Can we get more people to stop using this term for no apparent reason?

Damn. I've been to Baton Rouge multiple times. Need to reconsider.

Why do statistical facts bother you?
Found the demographics for Austin, Texas. They are from the 2010 census. Probably haven't changed much.

Demographics
U.S. Decennial Census
Racial composition 2010
White 68.3%
Non-Hispanic 48.7%
Black 8.1%
Hispanic or Latino 35.1%
Asian 6.3%
Now post the ones for the murder capitals.

Louisana sucks to live in I think we've established this.
Posted on 1/28/20 at 5:23 pm to Navajo61490
Now imagine when they factor St. George out of that

60.9 murders per 100k for #1 and 35.1 per 100k for #5. That's amazing the gap.

It's overall violent crime rate so murder, rape, robbery, aggregated assault.

Ah, article said murders/homicides so that is what I went with.

does anyone have crime stats from 1970?
Also, I believe Laffy is something like 65% white, making it the only majority white city over 100K people in the non-mountain South. Anyone have Laffy crime stats?

What? I'd think Jacksonville and Tampa are majority white. So is Gainesville and it's over 100k

wonder where Jackson, MS is on the list?
Jackson not being in the top 5 either means they are only ranking cities with populations of 200k and more, or a representative is paying to keep the statistics from being released about Jackson.
I'm pretty sure Jackson had more homicides than Baton Rouge last year.
