Murders in the U.S. are becoming increasingly concentrated in densely populated urban centers in just a handful of counties, according to a newly released report.
Some 73% of all murders in the U.S. took place in just 5% of counties while 52% of all counties reported no murders at all, according to a Crime Prevention Research Center study published this week and provided to Fox News Digital.
“Murders in the United States occur in very small areas, and that concentration has increased since 2014,” the study stated. “The concentration in 2020 is now greater than in 2010.”
The 52% of counties with no reported murders covered 10% of the population, the study said. Some 68% of counties did not exceed one murder in 2020, which accounts for 2.6% of all murders in 2020, according to the report.
Most murders took place in the “worst” 5% of counties that year while the worst 1% — only 31 counties — recorded 42% of the murders in 2020, the study said. That area is where 21% of the entire U.S. population lives.
“The worst 2% of counties (62 counties) contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders. The worst 5% of counties contain 47% of the population and account for 73% of murders. But even within those counties, the murders are very heavily concentrated in small areas,” the report continued.
Illinois’ Cook County, home to Chicago and about 40% of the state’s population, had the most amount of recorded murders of any location in 2020 with a whopping 775, according to the report.
The study found that within the counties themselves, murders and other violent crimes are also concentrated in certain areas, and the study pointed to Los Angeles County zip codes as examples.
In L.A. County, the worst 10% of zip codes reported 41% of the murders, the worst 20% of zip codes accounted for 67% of the murders, and the worst 30% at 82% of murders.
The same counties that ‘find’ hundreds of thousands of ballots at 4am.
I don’t think murder is concentrating. The safe areas are not becoming safer. There are just more murders in the bad places.
NAW IF IT IS CUT AND DRY,,,HANG UM WITHIN A YEAR,
Now do the racial demographics.
L
Like abortions, killing Democrat voters now and future.
Did you take The Sure Kill Expressway into my toilet of birth?
I drove route 611 south the whole way.
He does have a bit of information on that if you follow the link.
“Even within counties murders and other violent crimes are concentrated, though not as
concentrated as they are across counties. Figure 7 shows the distribution of murders across zip
codes in Los Angeles County, California in 2020. The worst 10% of the zip codes account for 41%
of the murders, the worst 20% have 67%, and the worst 30% have 82%.”
This, also, isn’t surprising if you live in a large metro area.
That’s the interesting thing.
Subtract the female vote, and everything changes for the better.
Make of that what you will, but the math works out.
Wall them off.
One of the things that the gun controllers have never wanted to discuss is who was causing, who was suffering from, and where “gun violence” they were always talking about was occurring. The RKBA folks have tried to make that plain, and the media have studiously ignored those questions for decades now.
And the normies who don’t pay much attention never seem to figure out that murder is largely a monopoly of the young, urban black and hispanic male. I have to hand it to the Democrat liars: they’ve managed the optics and messaging very well, and all of the efforts to bring the truth to light die in the cradle, so to speak.
Yep. Most people will simply not believe you if you tell them that blacks commit the most mass shootings. They can't comprehend. Every mass shooter they see on the news is white.
Gotcha, through Doylestown and Warrington.
Just imagine if those zip codes had an interruption of food delivery or EBT “Freedom Card” processing? Just like 36 hours.
I noticed a big sign today in Meijer that EBT now covers food delivery costs. Shop from home with your Obama phone!
Most of those murderers are, uhm ... Democrats! Yeah, that's what I meant to say. They're Democrats.
Can’t expect morbidly obese “poor” people to actually walk around to get their survival rations.
Didn’t see any mention of the demographics of said counties. Prolly has nothing to do with it so nothing to see, move on.
