      The report is counting STL City only ... not STL Metro and City. The city is at most 330,000 people which makes driving up the body count easy when compared to the size of the other cities on the list.

        that is indeed the case... but.... many other cities they eliminated the surrounding suburbs to determine the "real" crime hot spots. And its a big suprise to me that there even was one in St Louis. I had no idea. But certainly one can argue the statistics don't apply to surrounding areas and Suburbs. But does that make it any less useful? I dunno... maybe... maybe not. In this case St Louis remains isolated because its surrounding areas are not a part of it. The are isolated from the county and don't keep statistics together. They don't want to be grouped together and never did. Now the "city itself" has degraded while all around it things are better.

        I think the real intersesting thing here is that midwestern cities are getting worse. Remember, its all relative to each other. Not overall crime, just locations and percentages measured against each other. But there is some shift in locations. And not where one might assume anymore.

        Another suprise to me was on the longer list Birmingham beat out Atlanta. I never woulda figured Birminham to be worse than Atlanta....
