Reply to comment by albalfa in 2021 FBI Crime States for MA, Worcester County by MassInsider

Thanks for the hard numbers. I was being lazy but knew it was north of 200k. Regardless its not 180k, and if the violent crime numbers are accurate this would shift where Worcester ranks. Assuming they are right on the other cities. Its all just odd to me.

FBI provided population estimates. I wasn't about to reconfigure the data they provided. I don't know why they provided pre-census number, but they did. It is noted in the piece before the stats begin.

Oh sure I would not expect you to adjust the numbers, just noting its off. I missed that they noted it, was just skimming.
