Well duh! Of course I thought Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia were
southen cities. Get a life. Also, if you get murdered you are just as
dead in a city of 500,000+ as you are in one with 1,000 people. Your
knowledge of the population of cities is truly unbelievable are you
looking at 1810 census?

Its not clear what your point is here. Are you saying these are or are
not southern states?

From my Boston perspective, most of these cities are southern. However,
if you're claiming they are not, you should consider that this is from a
list of cities over 500,000, which excludes all cities in Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Birmingham, Little Rock, Atlanta, Jackson, and Miami have higher murder
rates than Philadelphia.

New Orleans would lead the list, having a murder rate 20% worse than
Washington.
