apparently, philly had a 20% increase in murders since last year. i would think that's notable, krazyhorse, unless the journalists are trying to hide something?
but what a great way to begin the new year...
2002 had 321 in Metropolitan Statistical Area of philly
Either that or the philly paper is full of ****, since the cnn article gave us the highest increase.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Anyhow, philly would have to have 700 homicides a year to match our rate.
Philly is full of ***** wannabes who couldn't hack it in Bawlmer.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

288 was the non-metropolitan city in 02. it's 347 for 03. we had a 20% increase but its a bit twisted because 02 had the fewest homicides in decades so it the percentage increase seems a bit exaggerated. and philly itself has far less than 1.5 million. we're borderline 1 million I think. white flight has turned into yellow, brown, and black flight as the suburbs like Cheltenham get filled with minorities fleeing the city."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

b) The city of Philly had 1.52 mil in 2002 according to that same FBI report, so unless you're claiming that 500 000 people left last year, you're full of ****.
c) We're number 1. Bal-ti-more! Bal-ti-more!12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

The city of Philadelphia has 1.4+ million in 2002 according to the census bureau*. The Metropolitan area of Philadelphia includes 4.9 million souls, and the MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area), which includes Philly, Atlantic City, Wilmington, and Vineland-Millville-Bridgeton NJ comes to 5.999 million.
*Unlinked, but it's not that hard to find.

What we're good at:
EDIT: Baltimore (670 000 people) and DC (600 000 or so IIRC) together have as many murders a year as all of Canada does.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Hope they're all counted in the same way... In Sweden we had a right chuckle when an Interpol survey showed we had the biggest murder rate in the western world, which had increased by a factor of ten in the last decade. Turns out the new "statistics" were due to a misunderstanding of the local counting methods (something about all suspicious deaths being counted as homicides until proven not to be) and the real murder rate had been constant at the level from 10 years ago.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

I grew up in Michigan, and visit there often. And now live 30-45 minutes away from both Baltimore and DC.
