Baltimore has the country’s 5th-highest murder rate.
New data from the FBI is not good news for Baltimore: the city has the fifth-highest murder rate in the United States, reports the Baltimore Business Journal.
Based on recent FBI data, the homicide rate – along with its statistics for aggravated-assaults and robberies – classifies Baltimore as, “one of just six cities that rank among the 20 worst places on all three crime lists,” according to an analysis BBJ attributes to Buffalo Business First.
