Illinois Mini-Factoid 2007

Chicago dropped it's former percentage of 60% of Illinois murders for 2007.

It dropped to 59%

It's murders/100K went from 16.4 to 15.68.

It was still 5x higher than the rest of the state at 3.08 .

All of the drops for the city have been negated so far in 2008. As of the July Chicago crime report, it now sits at over 18 / 100K .

Still, not bad for a city with a population of 9.7 million... :)
