Philadelphia recorded 392 murders in 2007, or about one murder for every 3,571 Philadelphians. New York City, on the other hand, had one of its lowest murder amounts ever in 2007, with 492--or, about one murder for every 16,260 New Yorkers. So, take note, before you or someone you love moves to Philly. (Hat tip to The Economist this week for the Philly stats.)
