"Note that this list is ranked by the RATIO of murders per population"

That's why Baghdad isn't on the list - despite hundreds and hundreds of terrorist-related homicides, its very large population keeps the ration down. But in an earlier post I wondered why Iraqi cities like Mosul and Tikrit weren't on the list despite hundreds of terrorist killings and much smaller populations than Baghdad.

“”Note that this list is ranked by the RATIO of murders per population”

You’ve hit on the solution. Large cities need to annex affluent and safe suburbs. This is exactly the same type of method that reduced the unemployment rate below 8%.
