This is interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_..._by_Crime_Rate

The list is by homicide rate and not really crime rate though- but it has number of reported crimes for each city. It is interesting to look at. Pittsburgh's murder rate is misleading though- mainly because the population doesn't quite represent the size of Pittsburgh. It is a city that pretty much doubles its population during the daytime, and even after the end of work- commuters are still in the city for dinner, bars, events, etc. at night. Pittsburgh has had a problem in not having downtown apartments for awhile.

Columbus with about twice the population of Pittsburgh had about 5 times as much burglary in 2004.

That's the year that I got robbed at gunpoint in columbus! I'm a statistic!

Anyways. . .
