Only 106 so far in NOLA.

Seems relatively safe to me.





Hmm
Memphis 119 murders 652,717 2016 population
NOLA 106 murders 391,495 2016 population

Guess if Nola is relatively safe, Memphis is very safe?

They aren't out for Scottsdale but we usually have about 1 per 100,000 people and the murders we do have are almost always domestic related

We obviously are not treating males and females fairly.

Our demographics lend themselves to lower crime rates.

Don't really see that changing.





Except...that...well...your demographics are changing? Nashville was 80% white in 1970. In 2010, it was down to 61%. More and more African Americans, Hispanics, and Middle Easterners are moving to Nashville. As the whites flock to Franklin, Hendersonville, and Mt. Juliet, the demographics will level out.

Well played

Tupelo must be a cesspool...a very smal cesspool.

Also why it's difficult to quantify smaller cities vs large, since one event, like a psycho killing their spouse and 2 kids, can the skew numbers significantly.
