As of 2025, the Milwaukee County homicide rate was 18.9 per 100,000 people.
In 2025, the national average of the homicide rate was 4.1 per 100,000 people.
Milwaukee County is approximately 4.9 times the national average.
Furthermore, just the city of Milwaukee is 6 times the national average, 24.3 per 100,000 people, for the homicide rate.
Sounds like Milwaukee should be renamed “Killwaukee” under David Crowley’s leadership.
Don’t Milwaukee my Wisconsin!
