- Aeolun 4y agoHoly shit, Birmingham sounds like a fun place to live. Guess it’s offset by how safe the rest of the UK is. Of course you are now more likely to die from lack of medical care than a murder, so it may not matter too much.
- roryirvine 4y agoThat wiki is about Birmingham in the US. By comparison, there were 93 murders in 2022 in the West Midlands (the UK region encompassing Birmingham, UK). That's a rate of 1.56 per 100,000 population, which I agree is pretty bad - but it's almost 50x less than the equivalent for the US city.
