Footnotes
1 Because the 1990 rate includes the city of Newport News and not Chesapeake, we did not calculate the percent change.

Notes
* MSAs refers to the MSA excluding the city(ies).
* The violent crime rate is the sum of all murders, forcible rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults per 100,000 pop. FBI crime data were limited in Illinois, Kansas and Kentucky; rates for cities/suburbs in these states may be underreported.
* Where two or more cities are shown together, they belong to the same Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). In these cases, the city data were combined to create a single urban entity.
* Tabulations are based on numbers with more decimal places than shown.
* Due to naming conventions and other reasons, MSA names may have changed over time.
* Due to Land Annexation and other reasons, MSA size may have changed over time.
