On May 22, 2008, Rod Beck sent me the following:
I hate to break the news to the New York bashers, but New York is one of the safest American cities. This is not a controversial statement. New York has a lower incidence of crime than Miami, Detroit, Seattle, Los Vegas, Houston, Atlanta, DC, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/nycdata/chapter09_files/sheet002.htm I refuse to go to NANOG events in Florida - now there is a dangerous place as well as a foreign country ...
Interesting data, but potentially skewed due to population differences. New York City's metropolitan area population is 18,818,536, whereas Miami is only 5,919,036. Miami: 7116.2 per 100,000 = 0.071162 crimes per person 0.071162 * 5919036 = 421,210.44 crimes NYC: 2771.0 per 100,000 = 0.02771 crimes per person 0.02771 * 18818536 = 521,461.63 crimes So it's not really that there is less crime, there's just less chance of a particular person being the perpetrator or victim. Also, my population numbers are based on 2006 data provided by Wikipedia, and therefore are not to be trusted. -- Chip Marshall System Administrator Dynamic Network Services, Inc. http://www.dyndns.com/
