location rate per 100,000 ranking Albuquerque, NM M.S.A. 777.8 32 Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, 478.2 119 DC-VA-MD-WV M.S.A Shall I continue? > > Nope, you're wrong. The Albuquerque MSA has a higher violent crime > rate than the Washington DC MSA according to the 2007 FBI crime > statistics, http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2007/data/table_06.html. The DC > rate only greater when a much wider statistical sampling region is > included. Then the rate goes up, but the size of the region > (population wise) becomes much, much larger, and the geographic region > expands to include the Baltimore area. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
