To build a list of the top 20 US cities in terms of the overall number of gun violence cases in 2018 or 2019.

- 1. St. Louis, Missouri
- 2. Baltimore, Maryland
- 3. Gary, Indiana
- 4. Trenton, New Jersey
- 5. Portsmouth, Virginia
- 6. Wilmington, Delaware
- 7. Ocala, Florida
- 8. South Bend, Indiana

- 17. Little Rock, Arkansas
- 18. Memphis, Tennessee
- 19. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- 20. Louisville, Kentucky
- Except for Memphis, Milwaukee, and Louisville, all other cities on this list were extracted from Security.org. In providing this list, Wonder analyzed the number of gun-related injuries, deaths, and incidents occurring in these states. Cities with the most injuries were prioritized, followed by deaths, and then incidents.
- The last three (18-20) cities were provided based on 24/7 Wall St. research. Here, the top cities which had not been mentioned by Security.org were included.
