of publishing little additional
information was available about the
status of the cases due to Illinois
privacy laws for context Chicago's
homicide rate is similar to that of
Louisville Kentucky or Cincinnati Ohio
and significantly below the murder rate
of Baltimore Maryland St Louis Missouri
or New Orleans
Louisiana on a national scope areas of
high homicide rates per 100,000
residents cluster in broader regions
along the Lower Mississippi River the
Deep South and the Sun Belt High rates
of homicide tend to Cluster around urban
areas rather than rural however there is
as much diversity between americ safest
cities as there is between its
deadliest for instance both Lincoln
Nebraska and New York City are some of
the safest cities in America though they
represent very different economic
political and Geographic environments
