I wasn't using the old city limits. I was including the entire county of Bibb. Macon/Bibb is larger than Chicago city by nearly 25 square miles.That's only because Macon City limits is very small, like 50 square miles and everything inside that 50 square miles is ghetto.
Chicago is over 200 square miles, all the crime is consolidated on the South side.
If you carved the worst 50 square miles of the south side of Chicago and compared it to Macon it wouldn't even be close. Same for Atlanta, both are way worse than Macon.
Macon is bad, but the crime stats compared to larger cities are very skewed because Macon's small city limits.
