Yes, but we actually report all crimes unlike NYC.Jumping Frog wrote:The crime statistics listed are for the M.S.A (Metropolitan Statistical Area). 2010 numbers are:
The Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX M.S.A. had a population of 5,978,213 with 435 murders, or 7.3 per 100,000 people.
The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA M.S.A. had a population of 19,042,526 with 899 murders, or 4.7 per 100,000 people.
It is the rate per 100,000 people that matters, not the raw number of crimes. New York M.S.A. is over 3X bigger than Houston.
