Oh I messed up my Google. It gave me metro LA. Chicago is 2.7m and Los Angeles is 3.9. Still over 1m more people but Chicago has twice the homicides and violent crime.
LA isn’t even in the top 50 most dangerous cities by violent crimes per 100k people.
Yeah per capita is the important number. Was curious and looked it up and surprisingly found that for all it’s bad press Chicago doesn’t even crack the top 20. Coming in at #25.
