10 U.S. cities you’re most likely to be murdered in

2. Oakland, CA

It’s a little hard to believe that just a bridge separates tech-booming San Francisco and Oakland. After reaching a 10 year high murder rate in 2012 the city of Oakland has worked to decrease the number of murders drastically, but it’s still at very high number, with the number of homicides around 100 a year for a population around 400,000. Essentially, have dinner in San Francisco and go to Oakland if you want to get jacked! Oakland has always been San Francisco’s rough little brother and this continues to be true where the area is full of gangs, poverty and underground crime element that pray on its own people as well as visitors.
