June 16, 201213 yr Alright, so I supposedly live in the third most dangerous city: Springfield, Ill., metropolitan area ranks third on our list with 855 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2010. The Illinois state capital confounds analysts who try to interpret its relatively high crime rate. The unemployment rate was lower than the national average at 7% as of July so the economy wouldn’t seem to play a major role in crime. The area’s relatively young population – 66% of the city is under the age of 44 – may be a factor, as younger areas generally have higher rates of crime. Before those statistics came out I barley saw any patrol cars, but after the statistics come out, I start seeing more and more, like just yesterday, I saw a Ford F-150 police truck. Now call me crazy, but I think that our city is actually more dangerous than are city officials are saying it is. I haven't personally noticed an increase in crime in our area, but I think thats due to the fact of I live in a nice neighborhood. What do you think? If you know the area you might know what I'm talking about.
