What is your city like?

[*StarDust*]

Check this tool out I did a search since I am bored right now and found a tool that lets you calculate your crime rate for the city you live in and compare it to other cities. I looked at the city I live in now and compared it to the city I grew up in.

Here is the link that showed me how bad the city I grew up in is

and here is the link so you can just check out your city. If your city isn't on the list just click more cities and it should come up with it.

And people wonder why I dont wanto move to Nashville from Russellville.


Here's what came back from the lab:


Nashville, Tennessee has a Relocation Crime Lab Index of 295 which is a higher crime rate than the national average

Russellville, Kentucky has a Relocation Crime Lab Index of 68 which is a lower crime rate than the national average
The Relocation Crime Lab Index gives the city's crime rate relative to the national average of all the cities in our database. A value of 100 means that the city is exactly average. A value of 200 means that the city has twice the crime rate as the average city. A value of 50 means that the city has half the crime rate of the average city. To learn more about how our data is compiled, click here.

Please note that the number of crimes reported has been adjusted to yield a rate per 100,000 people.
