Gavin Newsom once said how murder rates were higher in red States than blue States.
I am not a statistician but I have a feeling such a statement is meaningless.
What is the murder rate of Tennessee overall if we would pull out the murder rate in Memphis , for example?
What is the murder rate of Illinois overall if we pull out Chicago’s numbers?
It’s hard to make much sense of a Statewide average when there are such big individual variances within a state.
