Does Your City Bite?



No, no, I don't mean the weather or the lack of great restaurants. I mean, how likely is a US Postal Carrier to get bit by a dog in YOUR town?


I found this interesting article with the top 10:


1. Houston - 62
2. Columbus, OH, and San Diego, CA - 45 each
3. Los Angeles, CA - 44
4. Louisville, KY - 40
5. San Antonio, TX, and St. Louis, MO - 39 each
6. Cleveland, OH, and Phoenix, AZ - 38 each
7. Minneapolis, MN, and Portland, OR - 35 each
8. Denver, CO, and Philadelphia, PA - 31 each
9. Sacramento, CA - 30
10. Seattle, WA - 28


I don't see any pattern here or in the expanded list - they are ALL over the country. There doesn't seem to be JUST colder weather cities or hot weather towns at the top or bottom. It's pretty well mixed up. 


If you click the link to the full article below, you will find there is a link to an expanded list of 25 top cities.
