Re: Is Houston getting more violent
Definitely agree, I work from Conroe to Rosenberg and everywhere in between. There are some pretty rough areas outside the loop.

Re: Is Houston getting more violent
Now just over 6 million according to the all knowing Census!seamusTX wrote:Harris County and the City of Houston have a population of about 4 million. It is the fourth most populous metropolitan area in the U.S. It is not even in the top 10 in terms of murder rate per capita.
New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, and "gun-free" Washington DC are the perennial contenders for the top rating.
You can slice and dice this data all day:

Re: Is Houston getting more violent
Houston has been pretty rough lately. I work in the "Adult Beverage industry" and am constantly in less than safe areas. There are many times I wish my papers would have already come in the mail. Just remember to stay alert out there and always keep your head on a swivel.
