A Metropolitan Statistical Area includes the suburbs as well as the city they surround. Since the neighborhoods with high crime rates are more often than not within the city limits, crime rates for a city depend on the fraction of the population that lives within the city limits. For example Washington DC usually has one of the highest crime rates in country when compared to other cities, but using MSAs it ranks in the lowest half. Only 400,000 of the over 5 million residence of the MSA live in the city. New York by contrast ha a large fraction of the population of the MSA within the city limits so its crime rate is about the same using either measure.
