Congressional Quarterly surveys crime statistics across the country every year. Here are some numbers for Detroit:
Murder rate - 47 per 100,000 residents (Southfield, a suburb, 1.3 residents per 100,000; NYC 6 per 100,000)
80% of black children are born to single parent households (in 1960 it was 25%)
50% of black men did not finish high school
Lowest median income in the U.S.
No wonder the middle class has left.

Statistics that show a fairly obvious link between violent crime, dysfunctional families, and poverty.
