6 Philadelphia, PA

I've been living pretty dangerously, lately. In Baltimore now after 6 years in Dallas, and 5 years in St. Louis which is the most dangerous city of CITIES OF 100,000 TO 499,999 POPULATION: (208 cities). I'm planning a move to Camden, NJ which is flat-out the most dangerous city in the US. The city took the top spot last year from Detroit, which remained No. 2 in the most dangerous city rankings by Morgan Quitno Press. The national homicide rate in 2004 was 5.5 per 100,000. In Camden, the rate topped out at 60.8 per 100,000 - more than 10 times the national rate. By comparison, Philadelphia's homicide rate in 2004 was 22.2 per 100,000. Baltimore......42.7.

First off, let me remind you that Camden, separated from Philly by one small river, is essentially a part of Philly. Combined we bring more death and mayhem to the table than any punk-ass city like Baltimore.
