Can anyone tell me what every one of theses counties have in common? The answer is at the bottom of the post.
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 answer:
- Areas with the highest gun ownership rates have low murder rates.
- All of them are Democratic controlled.
