   Right; the stats I had were at the state level.  You can get rates for   
   individual cities, but not rates or rankings for agglomerations unless   
   you do the math yourself, and I'm not interested enough to bother.

   Same in any state.  Heck, the southern half of Dallas County has   
   probably five times the murder rate of the northern half, and population   
   density for both is about the same; it's all about poverty rates.
