Kansas City is the ninth most dangerous city; crime rate is more than three times the national average

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who reads this blog: Kansas City is a dangerous place. Just how dangerous? Onboard Informatics

dug through FBI crime stats from 2003 through 2009, and KC came out as the ninth most dangerous city in the United States.

If that’s not bad enough, Kansas City’s crime risk is more than three times the national average. I guess it could be worse. We could be St. Louis, the nation’s No. 1 city for crime risk.
