Miserable city?

According to that chart you provided Cleveland's crime rate of 1556+ per 100,000 is #7 worst in the country after St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, KC and Milwaukee. Read the chart again under "Total" per 100,000.
I wrote:
Per the FBI's list of cities with the most violent crimes per capita, the following top the list:
1. New York
2. Los Angeles
3. Chicago
4. Houston
5. Phoenix
6. Philadelphia
7. Las Vegas
8. San Antonio
9. Dallas
10. San Diego
11. San Jose
12. Honolulu
Tell me where you think I got this data from

Well, I used something that said "FBI list of cities with most violent crimes per capita." I don't know if I used Wikipedia, or the FBI's own website, or something else. I didn't make it up. Not sure where I got it.
(remember also...I did this research in 2010....the stats you reflect are from 2017. Don't know if things could have changed that drastically in that time.

One bad side of town or neighborhood or suburb can kind of ruin things for a ciy or region happens now all over the world.
Just look at South Chicago or the east side of Cleveland or South Central LA or many other cities now.

There are areas of Houston and Dallas I would definitely have on my concealed 9mm (I have the license to carry).

Cleveland is definetely a high crime city, the suburbs are mostly safe however. I wouldn't go to E78th and St. Clair where my dear grandparents lived now or I would probably be killed because I'm white.

You might more likely be killed for some other reasons.

There are areas in our wonderful country that even our well armed and trained police won't go without backup. Sad.

Sherlock Holmes said that he would rather hang around some of the worst slums of London rather than be out into the countryside because he thought crime out there was far worse so maybe it’s the same in this country maybe the cities are safer than the country.

The bayous of Louisiana hold a lot of secrets. James Lee Burke is an excellent crime novel writer that brings that to life in his "Dave Robicheaux" books. But the best kept secret is the deep woods of East Texas. Rumor has it that the mafia that operated in Galveston years ago loved to "visit" The Big Thicket" with their former "friends".

Can't argue with what he posted ..
It's old but at the time very relevant. There were 5 Ohio cities on the list in his link from Forbes.

The hell I can't argue with what he posted. Why on earth would you ever think that bullshit is inarguable?
Again...here are the criteria that the article he posted used:
Our Misery Measure takes into account:
unemployment,
taxes (both sales and income),
commute times,
violent crime
and how its pro sports teams have fared over the past two years. We also factored in two indexes put together by Portland, Ore., researcher Bert Sperling that gauge
weather and
Superfund pollution sites. (Superfund sites are ground pollution issues. Why is not air and water pollution a factor as well?
Lastly we considered corruption based on convictions of public officials in each area as tracked by the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Department of Justice. (I am trying to figure out how this particular matter has anything to do with overall happiness)
I guess I could go through these all again and demonstrate how Cleveland is NOT anywhere near at the top of these lists than many, many other cities.
If I were to get updated to 2018 data....similar to what I had put on here before, again, I can guarantee that a city like San Diego suffers even worse in all these categories than does Cleveland. Hell...as I said, they had another sports team leave town....where Cleveland had teams in the sports championship finals 5 times in the last 5-6 years.
