    In your own link:

    Which means there’s a growing gap between New York City and most of the rest of urban America.

    You’re comparing an outlier.

    On top of this, the graph from your own link says large meteopolotan areas have more murder than rural areas. Did you go to your own link?

    I think this is one of the very few conservative points thay we should not simply disregard offhand.
    I don’t have all the data and have not done a thorough investigation but looking at crime rates from City-Data and USAFacts cities seem to be higher on average.

    Now, could this be due to larger police forces and higher reporting? Could it be due to the inherent racism our legal system is based upon?
    I’m not the one to say.
    Also there is always going to be variation in the data for many factors.
