54% of US Counties in 2014 had Zero Murders, 2% of Counties have 51% of the Murders

[volsrock]

That's the statistics of Toledo's murders!How is it racist?

Just ask any PC Lib

Anytime u post stats on black crime its racist

[Nordberg]

What a bunch of crap. That just happens to be where the people live. It may surprise Q-dip, but there are millions of more people living in cities. Not that rural areas are that safe.

you are just a right wing moron

Possibly but I'm also a liberal. But calling me a moron isn't conducive to constructive discussion. Why do you think counties prone to high crime tend to vote dim?

No, when crime data is published by dept. of justice, e.g., violent crime rate is published as # per 100,000, so population density has nothing to do with it. That's why it's called rate. But you knew that, right?

US murders concentrated in 5 percent of counties
The majority of murders in the U.S. occur in only a small percentage of counties across the country.

The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) said in a new report that there is a “geographical concentration” of murders, with 68 percent of killings occurring in just 5 percent of the nation’s counties. The homicides also tend to be concentrated to relatively small pockets of those counties, the report said.

“It is stunning how concentrated murders are in the U.S.,” John Lott, president of the CPRC said to Fox News. “And we show that even within these counties, with all these high rates, murders are very concentrated.”

“These high [rate] counties have very large areas where there are no murders.”

In 2014, the U.S. murder rate was 4.4 per 100,000 people, according to the data of the report. If the deadliest 5 percent of the counties were removed, the U.S. murder rate would be 2.56 per 100,000 people, the report showed.

More than half of last year’s murders occurred in only 2 percent of the nation’s counties.

Looking at the historical data, the CPRC said that murders were even more geographically concentrated in decades past. On average, 73 percent of counties in any given year had zero murders from 1977 to 2000.

Take for example Los Angeles County, which had 526 murders in 2014 -- the most of any other county in the U.S. But parts of L.A. County, including Beverly Hills, Hawthorne and Van Nuys, had virtually no murders that year.

Indianapolis, Indiana had 135 murders but only four occurred outside of the 465 highway loop that encircles the downtown area.

Washington, D.C. has large swaths without a single recorded murder. The study found that murders were overwhelmingly limited to the eastern half of Washington, D.C.

One of the most interesting findings in the report is that areas with the highest gun ownership rates have low murder rates.

“While many factors explain these concentrated murders, it is also striking that the counties with zero murders are the counties with by far the highest gun ownership rates,” Lott said.

The report’s authors also looked at numbers from a 2013 REW Research Center survey, which found that the household gun ownership rate in rural areas was over two times greater than in urban areas. That study also found that suburban homeowners are 28 percent more likely to own guns than urban dwellers.

Kind of like a jellyfish. No real brain, but still it lives on. I'd prefer jellyfish stings, to brainless scumbags infesting society with regurgitated thoughts, and hate though. If Volscrock can show me a Trumpkin goon that is freethinking, rather than just stuck on baited lines of lies, I'd be impressed. I should mention that, Trumpkins are the Trump, cult following goons ruining things, and not simply someone that voted for him. Hell my mother voted for Trump. I do see a bit of voters remorse in her though.

That's not voter remorse - It's "Why didn't I get an abortion" remorse.

It is amazing. The rightys are so stupid, that they did not know we have cities and areas of dense population. Q-Dip just discovered we have cities and rural areas. I did not think he could figure that out, but he did. Small towns have less murders than cities of millions do. Lets see if we can figure out why? pretty tough isn't it?

Statistics aren't your strong point I see. Rate has nothing to do with density.

Someone who is so quick to call others stupid or a moron had better have a grade-school grasp of what's being discussed.

You two dimwits really don't understand the map is based on per-capita rates? Do you even understand per-capita rates?

This map uses shading as being a representation of the prevalence of murder per 100,000 of population, not the raw number of murders.

It has NOTHING to do with population density or urban vs rural differences in population or even the total number of homicides.

That the darkest shaded areas happen to overlay perfectly with Democrat run hellholes with revolving-door criminal "justice" systems and high minority populations, just shows that Democrat run hellholes with revolving-door criminal "justice" systems and high minority populations murder more.

Back to your stupidity . . . Let's see if either of you can do some very simple math . . .

A county with 4,000,000 people experiences 1000 murders and has a murder rate of _____/100K

A county with 400,000 people experiences 100 murders and has a murder rate of _____/100K

A county with 4000 people experiences 1 murder and has a murder rate of ______/100K.

Are these counties different colors on that map or exactly the same color?

First one to answer correctly is slightly less of an idiot than the other.

[CFM]

17% of Seattle is either black or hispanic you invertebrate

Just ANOTHER reason to not live there.

[CFM]

You are a moron

Yet you still haven't debunked what has been proven.

[volsrock]

This whole thread has been debunked early on try to keep up

and u still have not accepted the challange

i listed MANY MANY MANY places with low black population with low crime rates


show jus 1 with a black population of 20% listed in any top 15 safe place to live

[katzgar]

Yet you still haven't debunked what has been proven.

nothing has been proven
