DENVER (KDVR) — Denver ranks high on the list of major cities with the most homicides. While it’s not in the top spot, Denver is higher than most cities, including New York City and Detroit.
WalletHub ranked 40 of the most populated cities with the worst homicide rates. The study ranked the list based on homicides per capita as well as the change in the number of homicides within the past few years. WalletHub used data from police departments around the country.
While Denver doesn’t make it into the top five, it’s not far off.
