Baltimore is a city with a population of more than 6,000 whose major problems include homicide, drug abuse (mainly, addiction to heroin), and robbery— which sees the highest number per capita in the US. According to the DEA, 10% of this city’s population is addicted to heroin, so it is not uncommon for a resident to be a victim of drug addiction, which can, as a result, lead to crimes against other residents. 4. New Orleans, Louisiana New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana, with a population of over 390,845 inhabitants.  The violent crime rate per 1,000 residents in New Orleans is 11.6, making the chances of being a victim 1 in 86 people. Statistics show that the crime rate in this city has decreased over the years, since 1994. In 1994, New Orleans was known as the “Murder Capital of America,” with 424 murders reported that year. 5. St. Louis, Missouri The crime rate of this city with 200,000 inhabitants scores 19.2 per 1,000 residents, with the chance of being a victim rising to 1 in 51 people.  The major crimes in St. Louis involve homicide and assault (one-third of all the homicides and half of all the assaults take place in the north part of the city). In 2020, the city recorded 87 killings per 100,000 inhabitants. So, if you were planning to move to either of these five dangerous cities, you now know better to avoid them.
