The author of that World Population Review essay is quite confused. Are
the numbers to be trusted? The text states that East St. Louis is a part of
St. Louis. However, East St. Louis is a distinct city in Illinois and has
never been a neighborhood within St. Louis. I wonder why their fact
checker let this happen? It is good to see the decrease in homicides
in Detroit. The more or less official FBI crime statistics for 2021 will not
be available to considerably later this year.
