(NEXSTAR) – While violent crime has dropped to pre-pandemic levels nationwide, the FBI announced, changes weren’t the same across the board. The crime rates remained elevated in dozens of cities around the country.
Personal finance site MoneyGeek used the FBI crime data to look at crime rates in 302 large cities and 1,010 small cities and towns around the country. They looked at both violent crime and property crime, and used research by the University of Miami and the University of Colorado Denver to determine the cost of crime in each area.
After crunching the numbers, the large city with the highest cost of crime was Birmingham, Alabama. The violent crime rate – which includes instances of murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault – in Birmingham was 1,682 per 100,000 residents. The property crime rate – which includes burglary, larceny, and vehicle theft – was 4,173 per 100,000 residents.

I think it’s more of the white liberal leftist and the race hustler industry that are destroying black families and black hope. That’s the problem in my view.
“4 of the top 5 are Red states, ergo, Republicans cause crime” is the response on the internets.
The decline in San Bernardino began with the gradual shut down of Nearby Norton Air Force base, which was accompanied in time with Los Angeles and Orange counties kicking out as many illegals as they could, telling them to go somewhere else, and with San Bernardino’s declinining housing market they found somewhere else to go.
I was not present for these events, but a great friend of mine was a school teacher in San Bernardino city schools at the time and rembers well the impact of the decline at Norton Air Force base and the rise of the population of illegals, which the schools were required to take in. It was also the begining of the rise of drugs and crime in the area.
What I did observe - on many trips - was the visible physical decline across the area from the late 1960s into the 1990s.
The Mexican illegal population in San Bernardino is so large it earned San Bernardino its own Mexican Consulate.
When I was working overseas, we would refer to places like Birmingham as, TWSH, Third World S*#t Holes.
