Well, in all fairness, NYC did have the numbers. Collectively, across the 5 families the inducted membership reportedly exceeded 1500. So there's that. With their core "associates" included, they had at least 10K. Thats a whopping number....Chicago never had anywhere near those numbers. So I guess its not a fair fight, so to speak. lol.

So, if you prefer, adjust the question accordingly. Match all of Chicago against, say, the Genovese, or Gambino Families (which were the largest.) Or match them any way that makes you feel more comfortable.

I laid out some established statistics of the cities like geography, populations, revenue, etc., to try and help with the question a bit.
