Only 80 percent! I missed the most obvious: Chicago, Memphis, Newark, Nashville.

I never realized! I have been to most of these cities and I haven't been murdered yet.

Some of these, such as St. Louis get a bad rap because the data is only based on the city itself and not the metro area. For example, St. Louis city only has a population of ~319,000 where the metro area has a population of ~2.8 million.

Sure, sharastarr, you're safe on the West Coast. Just that, well, a lot of serial killers have come out of the West. Particularly the Pacific Northwest. C:

Tulsa?! I wouldn't have thought of Tulsa if I had two weeks to take this quiz. Somehow, I always forget Philadelphia. I don't know how...their football fans are notoriously nasty.

I've been fooled by CSI. I assumed Miami, New York and Las Vegas would be the top three. Tulsa is on the list of American cities I've heard of, so I got that one.

How is LA not there? Guess they don't report properly!

Or, Versailes80, L.A. isn't as bad as the movies and media make it out to be. Maybe you should read up on facts, instead of assuming the media tells the truth...just saying

Quiz is not right. Shoudl be Metro areas. New Orleans city only has a couple hundred thousand. Area has millions. LA, and NY skate by just off of the size of the city. My small city (Killeen TX) barely missed this list. We have 130,000 people, and had 12 murders last year. I think 15 this year. But the area has about 300,000 people, and everyone hangs out in Killeen. Quiz is not right.
