And if so, your conclusion is what?
Fact is, Texas has about double the black population of California, and one of the big factors why crime is so high in Texas.
No?
What I was pointing out is that at the peak of the cocaine wars in 1992, TX (800 violent crime incidents per 100K people) had a lower crime rate than CA (1100 similar incidents), but this kind of went south with the migration to TX of blacks from CA and other states, including LA. TX used to be safer than CA back when TX had 11.9% to CA’s 7.4% black population. Now that it’s 11.8% to 5.6%, TX is about neck and neck (450 violent incidents per 100K people) compared to CA (440 similar incidents).
Hmmm. Lets look at two big cities.
Chart shown is a statistical comparison of the crime rates per 100,000 people. Based on the final 2006 FBI Crime Statistics.
