Positive. As for Jefferson Parish, JPSO reported 19 homicides in 2024 for unincorporated JP (Metairie, River Ridge, Elmwood, Jefferson, Marrero, Terrytown, Harvey, Waggaman, Woodmere and Lafitte). This doesn't Gretna, Harahan, Kenner, or Westwego as those municipalities have their own police force and stats. Couldn't find the stats for them but I'm assuming Kenner had a few. Gretna may have had 1 or 2 considering they get some spillover crime from Algiers.

murder rate
I wish they'd stop this murder "rate" thing and just give us actual numbers.
That would give a better representation since most murders are concentrated in the same bad areas of the city.
The per capita "rate" numbers are skewing the danger level.
There's some political math going on here.
The current population of Louisville, Kentucky is around 620,004
Louisville had 141 murders last year
The current population of New Orleans is around 383,997
New Orleans has 124 murders last year
Louisville is 1.6 times the size of New Orleans, yet only had 17 more murders in 2024!

That’s incorrect for Louisville. They don’t calculate statistics for just “city limits” here. It’s Louisville Metro (Downtown plus majority of Jefferson County).

Sounds like Ice should be paying Louisville a visit soon

No Atlanta.

Wonder what is very similar about all these cities that they make the list.

The ICE branch that covers all of Kentucky and a chunk of Southern Indiana is based in downtown Louisville.

You'll find the murder rate here is by and large in the West End. Which is by majority Black (not immigrant). Louisville as a city is pretty segregated.
Shively?
Also,
Are the numbers skewed due to Louisville being a consolidated Metro?

Say what you want about all 10 cities. But Chicago is a war zone. Esp south Chicago.

Surprised Beaumont or Port Arthur are not on the list.

Well, I'm sure there's a Louisville metro also.

As of 2023, the population of the New Orleans metropolitan area was estimated to be 962,165..

Louisville metropolitan area had a population of 1,395,855 in 2020 according to the latest official census, and its principal city is Louisville, Kentucky.
So, Louisville metro is still 1.45 times the size of NOLA metro....

Louisville is 23% black while New Orleans is 50-55% black.
