FBI Uniform Crime Report. More than half the murder victims are black, at 13% of the population. 94% are murdered by other blacks, usually males aged 15-30 in a handful of urban areas, about 3% to 4% of the population. The US contains 3142 counties or equivalents (such as parishes). In 54% of them there have been zero murders in three years. The next 39% were home to roughly 15% of the murders. The remaining 6% of counties are where approximately 85% of the murders occur. Every one of these counties is a part of a Democrat controlled metro area. Every one.
As an example, Alabama's murder rate is mostly from Birmingham and Montgomery, both little blue dots in an ocean of red. Alabama's murder rate absent these two cities is barely 3:100,000. With the two metro areas included the rate jumps to 14:100,000.
