“Surely not!” And then with a heavy sigh, I remembered Baltimore.
Louisianians be like "Chicago tho amirite"
What's the deal with Louisiana?
Corruption, poor education, overpowered oil/gas lobby, for-profit prison system that encourages recidivism
And that's just scratching the surface
outside of NO, the region is reletively low on education, poverty ridden and low opportunity. its the trio that makes high homicide rate.
reletively low on education
You don't say

Wasn’t that where true detective season 1 was based in? Says all you need to know.
Hot and humid all the time.
I remember reading something while ago that did link high temperatures with higher rates of things like violence. Essentially, being hot all the damn time makes everyone's baseline level of irritability higher and so things escalate more often. Seems a bit counter-intuitive though if we all came from Africa so I'm not sure how true it ultimately is.
In Europe the stereotype is definitely that "blood gets warmer" the more south you go. It certainly holds a bit of truth in my experience, the attitudes in Marseille or Rome are much more spicy than in Berlin, Amsterdam etc.

I didn't expect my state to be in 2nd place. I guess I should keep staying away from st Louis and KC. And Jeff city. And probably springfield.
It’s not so bad in KC except for the gunfire after a Chiefs game…on Independence Day….NYE….in Westport on the weekends….or driving on the highways….during deer season….Election Day….Easter…MLK Day…National Hot Dog Day…Yom Kippur…Black Friday…and on days when the weather is above 40 degrees. But that’s all.
You’re fine on Tuesday nights when it’s snowing outside. Just watch out for ice on the roads. It’s hard to see.
None of those are homicides
What's up with Liechtenstein? That's five people and a fortune, how are they competing with the US?
Pretty sure the amount they're listed as having on the graph is equivalent to one single homicide, due to their low population.
Exactly. Extremely small population and short duration (just one year’s data) means even a small number of murders in a given year will easily bump it up.

Hmm. Pennsylvania. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Philly.
