"New York City has not only retained its title as the safest big city in the country, it has defied the odds and become even safer," Mayor Bloomberg boasted yesterday as he announced the new data.
Of the nation's 230 cities with 100,000 or more people, New York now ranks a stellar 211th in crime rate - an improvement from 203rd last year and safer than most other major cities, including Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. The data is based on the FBI crime index, which ranks cities from worst to best based on the number of crimes per 100,000 people."
