United States Crime Rates By City
250,000 and Above - 100,000 to 250,000 - 60,000 to 100,000 - 40,000 to 60,000

[edit] Crime rates for cities with populations greater than 250,000 in 2005

The following table of 2005 homicides is based on Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reports statistics that initially became available in September 2006. The data is available on the FBI 2005 statistic site and is downloadable in Excel format. Populations are on the FBI spreadsheet which they say is based on U.S. Census estimates. The number of homicides also includes nonnegligent manslaughter. New Orleans, Louisiana which was number 1 in 2004 is not included in this list because of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. This list is based on the reporting agency. In most cases the city and the reporting agency are identical. However, in some cases such as Honolulu and Las Vegas, the reporting agency encompasses more than one city.

Rates are based on cases per 100,000.
