St. Louis is currently on course to have fewer homicides this year than Kansas City, a change in how the two cities typically relate to each other in the grim statistic.

As of this past Sunday, St. Louis had 101 homicides so far in 2023. Kansas City had 128. Compared to this time last year, St. Louis has seen around a 20 percent decrease in homicides, while Kansas City has seen about the same percentage increase, according to criminologist Rick Rosenfeld.

"It turns out that St. Louis' drop corresponds with a drop that's occurred on average across all big cities," says Rosenfeld, who explains that big cities in the U.S. have on average seen a 12 percent drop in homicides so far this year. But Kansas City is bucking that trend.
