Unemployed City Becomes Riotous - St. Louis, Missouri
Louis shaken after the deaths of 12 children since April 4
Missouri is the only state with two entries on this list. Unfortunately, this is a shameful internal competition that the Missourians can do. Louis is a city of extreme dichotomy: At one end of the spectrum, the so-called Gateway to the Midwest is a major economic hub and home to ten Fortune 500 companies, including including prescription drug management giant Express Scripts Holding and Anheuser Busch, the country's most popular brewer, Budweiser.

Racist city leads to protests, riots - Birmingham, Alabama
Crime in Birmingham, Alabama
By the turn of the 20th century, the city of Birmingham, still Alabama's most populous city, grew dramatically from a collection of homes and small businesses into one of the most impressive downtown areas in the country. . The makeover was so rapid and extensive that it earned Birmingham the nickname: Magic City. Despite what many consider a "racist sprint" - a trend that has occurred since the 1960s, the mayor (Democrat Albert Boutwell) used police dogs and fire hoses on children black skin. Today, the city of just over 200,000 is one of the nation's biggest banking hubs, but Birmingham's southerly charm has been overshadowed by rampant violent crime. The city's violent crime rate is 1,912 per 100,000 residents, five times the national average. Serious assaults account for a particularly high proportion of these incidents, accounting for about 70% of the total. According to the police department, violent crime in Birmingham is down 26% so far this year. Rape and robbery have halved, although the murder rate has dropped only slightly.

City Rampant with Violence – Memphis, Tennessee
Crime in Memphis - the most violent city in the world
Another southern city with a rich history of winning a "silver medal" in crime on this list: violence is as much a part of Memphis' identity as blues, barbecue, and FedEx. When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of a motel in April 1968, riots broke out in major cities across the country whose effects are still felt for more than half a century. next century. The loss of a charismatic leader, combined with the burning and looting of inner-city infrastructure that caused chaos, was a one-of-a-kind blow that brought the Civil Rights movement to a halt. stagnation and breakdown. In 2018, its violent crime rate was 1,943 per 100,000 - or 411% of the national average - including 186 homicides, more than half of which involved guns. The city has provided federal resources and manpower to reduce violent crime, increase background checks on gun buyers, and crack down on buyers who lie on gun apps.

The most dangerous city belongs to Detroit, Michigan
Beneath the Buried Bodies: Inside a Detroit Murder Squad
The city that brings the world's muscle cars, MoTown and Marshall Mathers are also the most dangerous cities in America. Detroit is the only city in the nation with a violent crime rate in excess of 2,000 per 100,000 residents - 428% higher than the national average. Detroit has seen one of the steepest declines in population in the past half-century. At its peak in the 1950s, the city was home to 1.8 million people. A range of factors, most notably job cuts in the auto manufacturing sector, have driven the residency below 700,000. It's not just attrition - it's the "escape while you can" death spiral in which the rest of us tend to despair. More than a third live in poverty, and more ominously, the COVID-19 pandemic has seen Detroit's unemployment rate rise from an already high 9.8% to an alarming year-to-date 39.2%. . When a city loses more than half of its population, policy becomes another matter. Vast swaths of the city contain rows of nearly empty houses with abandoned, decaying buildings that are breeding grounds for the nation's number one drug trafficking and violent crime. It's hard to see hope in such a haunted, heartbroken city that once literally boosted the region's economy.
