Are you looking for a new city and don't want to be murdered? I think that's a yes for just
about anyone looking to move it's like you're on Google and you're looking up worse traffic lowest
home prices good schools oh and I don't want to be murdered in the parking lot of a vacant Kmart
while I'm trying to fix a flat tire seeing that about 99.9 percent of us don't want that to happen
I thought we could look at the deadliest cities in the U.S going into 2023. we rank these by how many
murders they have for every 100 000 residents and I also give you their violent crime rate
whenever I do this video or this type of video I always get a bunch of people thinking I skipped
certain places Chicago always seems to come up Chicago normally has the most murders but they
also have a whole bunch more people than a lot of the cities on this list as an example Chicago's
on this list and so is Memphis the Chicago metro area has about 10 million residents while Memphis
has about 1.3 Memphis only had two-thirds the amount of murders that Chicago had but because
the population it breaks down to Memphis had 44 per every 100 000 residents while Chicago only
had 16. I've explained this many times and people still think the numbers I get from the FBI are
wrong so I thought I'd have a math guy explain it to you here's bride the math guy let's play a game
you're going to pick a random marble from one of two bags filled with gold and white marbles
you win if you draw a gold marble the first bag has one gold and nine white marbles
the second bag has 10 gold Marbles and 990 white marbles which bag do you want to pick from
bag you have a 10 chance to win while the second bag has a one percent chance to win
even though the second bag has more winners the relative chance of winning is lower
it's the same concept with cities of a large population a large city could have
more of some characteristic but looking at it as a percentage of the overall population
it could be less than a city with a smaller population got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Albuquerque New Mexico like I've said before I feel kind of guilty talking bad about
Albuquerque I met some nice people when I was in San Antonio that are from Albuquerque but the City
of Albuquerque did this to themselves they've got horrible crime a lot of it has to do with
underfunded police they really don't have a lot of jobs there I mean compared to other states
and other cities and they really get into their violent crime it's like a sport at this point in
Albuquerque Albuquerque's violent crime rate is 246 percent above the national average in 2021
they had 16.2 murders for every 100 000 residents that's an increase from both 2019 and 2020. 2020
is kind of a gimme because you know we're all locked down but still they're trending upwards
and right now in 2022 it looks like they're going to beat 2021 numbers number nine Rockford Illinois
there you go for all those folks that want to say Illinois is the worst in Chicago in general
Rockford Rockford's not too far from Chicago it's about an hour and a half Northwest of downtown
Chicago besides a strange amount of murders in this city they also have a lot of people
disappearing and they have a lot of people that show up in the Rock River that flows right through
town in 2021 Rockford Illinois had a violent crime rate that was 203 percent higher than the national
average and yes that's lower than Albuquerque but we're going by the murders per 100 000 residents
on this video and theirs was 17.3 for every 100 000 residents and they only have a population
of about 150 000 residents their entire metro area only has 344. so they got a bunch of overachievers
Number Eight Houston Texas Houston Texas has been going downhill for some time in the last four or
five years since I've really been putting a lot of focus on these cities in the United States Houston
is continually moving up the bad things food chain you know if they really apply themselves five or
six years they could be ranked right up there with like Detroit now when people get murdered
a majority of the time it's going to be in their residence in Houston one of the top spots to get
whacked is a convenience store parking lot that's not cool nobody wants to die with a handful of Red
Vines and a belly full of Dr Pepper the violent crime rate in Houston is 224 percent higher than
the national average in 2021 they saw 20.5 murders for every 100 000 residents that's up from both
2020 and 2019. and again it looks like they're gonna beat last year's number here in 2022.
number seven Little Rock Arkansas Little Rock is our only entry into this list from Arkansas I know
a lot of you were expecting to have Pine Bluff they didn't quite make it their violent crime
rate is pretty high but they didn't have enough murders it's like they've got a bunch of slackers
out there or something like that Little Rock has a long history of violence and gang activity while
wearing overalls and Barefoot the violent crime rate in Little Rock Arkansas is 377 percent above
the national average and their murder rate is 24.8 for every 100 000 residents Good Times
number six South Bend Indiana South Bend is new to the lists of suckage it used to be close to
the top 10 for a lot of years and in recent years it's like moving well into the top ten whenever
we're talking about some serious suckage South Bend has some poverty issues and some seriously
underpaid human beings they've got a real problem with far too many minimum wage jobs they also got
a problem with their violent crime rate it's 346 percent above the national average and they had
27.9 murders for every 100 000 residents their murder rate has grown by two percent in each of
the last three years and this year looks like it's gonna blow those numbers out of the water
number five Kansas City Missouri Kansas City Missouri has the Mississippi river flowing right
through town and it branches off in the middle of town to the Kansas River stop typing how many
of you were leaving the comment it's actually the Missouri River not the Mississippi river flowing
through Kansas City Missouri be honest who was leaving the comment but Kansas City has a long
history of not being a great place to live I mean they do have some neighborhoods that
are nice right across the border in Kansas they have Overland Park which is part of the Kansas
City metro area and it's one of the best suburbs in the United States it's just that Kansas City
Missouri part kind of blows and really that's true with just about every city you're gonna
have some nice suburbs but it's just those ones that aren't so nice really outshine your good
places Kansas City Missouri's crime rate is 309 percent higher than the national average and their
murder rate is 35.2 for every 100 000 residents number four Memphis Tennessee yes our old friend
Memphis they're kind of known for a few things rock and roll and blues music along with great
barbecue and Beale Street they're also kind of known for attacking each other with machetes and
blunt objects I don't know what the deal is with that but they just have a strange amount of that
going on in this place Memphis is one of those places you go to when you want to get away from
everyone I forget the movie but there was a comedy and this guy was talking about moving to Memphis
and his friend goes Memphis is where you move to when you owe the wrong people a lot of money
because they won't even come there to look for you it's like Las Vegas Mobsters kind of just write
you off as a loss when they find out you move to Memphis Memphis has a violent crime rate that's
506 percent higher than the national average their murder rate is 44 for every 100 000 residents and
that's been moving up three years in a row and this year they're probably gonna beat it also
number three Wilmington Delaware yes Wilmington Delaware has not made it on this list in a long
time well actually it usually makes it on the lists anytime we're talking about violent crime
but murder rate yeah they're another one of those places that has a lot of violent crime
in the past few years but not as many murders well they're picking up steam they're getting
back to their old form the violent crime rate in Wilmington Delaware is 310 higher than the
national average and their murder rate is 44.3 for every 100 000 residents their murder rate and
violent crime rate have risen three years in a row number two Detroit Michigan Detroit Michigan kind
of surprises me now they're in this weird thing they've lost so many residents their stats it's
like only the bad people are staying behind I'm sure there's plenty of wonderful people that still
live there but over time a lot of the wonderful people have moved out and now there's just some
wonderful people and a lot more dirt bags the good news is in the last few years downtown Detroit's
gotten a lot better and hopefully that'll start you know moving out to the suburbs but right now
some of those suburbs are pretty scary and the stats kind of confirm that the violent crime
rate in Detroit is 462 percent above the national average the only one that beats them is Memphis a
few years ago they were in the 600s almost I think 559 so they've gotten better in the violent crime
rate the downside is their murder rate has gone up right now it is 49.7 for every 100
000 residents and in the last five or six years it's gone up a few every single year
all right before we get to number one don't forget we have another Channel called on this
day we would love it if you went over there and subscribed watch some videos give some
thumbs up all right on to number one and number one Baltimore Maryland I almost said Baltimore
Michigan how strange would that have been people pulling out their Maps trying to figure out what's
going on but yeah Baltimore is definitely in Maryland and it's definitely a nightmare now in
recent years they've started kind of this revival thing where they're pulling in a lot of tech jobs
and I honestly think I don't know maybe in the next five to ten years they could be a hot spot
for tech jobs they do have a lot right now but hey you know they're kind of pushing for that
hopefully the crime rate they got going on and the murder rate they have going on in Baltimore
doesn't scare all those Tech workers off I did a worse neighborhoods in Baltimore video probably
about six seven months ago and what's going on in some of those neighborhoods is straight up
scary when I say scary it's like a friend asks you to drive him someplace on there or you start
wondering now would I rather do that or swim in an alligator Pond hmm the violent crime rate in
Baltimore is 379 above the national average and here comes the big finale their murder rate is
58.1 for every 100 000 residents that's a lot of people getting croaked it's like trying to
do drive-by and someone's doing a drive-by on you at the same time Baltimore is unhealthy stay away
all right that's today's video hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some
information out of it now go out have a great day and be nice to each other
