Check out these numbers for Detroit in 2013. I doubt the Green Zone had remotely as much violence inside its walls.

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter rate per 100,000 people: 45

Total murders and non-negligent manslaughters: 316

Violent crime rate per 100,000 people: 2,072

Total violent crimes: 14,504

Population: 699,889
