Top 10 most dangerous states to live (2013)

[Anthony P]

I think what people are missing is

1) New York is not just NYC. The city is roughly 8M while the state is close to 20M

2) 1.134 murders a day is a lot but NYC has 8M people that comes out to roughly 5 murders per 100,000 for the year. Now, obviously, murder is only one of the violent crimes but it is also only for one city in NY (if the rest of the state has less it will average out lower)
