You are still only looking at large population centers - at that scale they will have the largest concentrations of lower income residents (the primary determinant). However, if you go to smaller groupings, like the county level it changes again (unfortunately I only have this data from 2017).

1. ORLEANS PARISH, LOUISIANA
   Homicide rate: 43 homicides per 100,000 people
   Median household income: $36,792
   New Orleans crime index: 6 out of 100

Orleans Parish, while the smallest parish by land area in Louisiana, has the highest homicide rate not only in the state but in the country. Orleans Parish is home to almost 400,000 people and includes New Orleans, the largest city in the state. New Orleans accounts for the majority of the homicides in this county, and in a metro to metro area comparison, it has a higher homicide rate than Chicago. Just 85 percent of Orleans Parish residents have a high school diploma, lower than the national average of 88 percent. 27 percent of county residents live in poverty.
2. COAHOMA COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI

Clarksdale crime index: 2 out of 100

Cahoma County is one of two counties from Mississippi to make the top 10. Even as a small county with just over 25,000 residents, Cahoma County is no stranger to violent crime. The county seat of Clarksdale had over 150 violent crimes in 2015, and with a population of about 16,000; that means almost 1 violent crime for every 100 residents. 35 percent of residents of Clarksdale live below the poverty line, and 1 in 5 residents are not high school graduates.

Just 82.5 percent of residents have a high school diploma, and almost a quarter live in poverty. The tension between residents and police reached a boiling point in 2015, after the death of Freddie Gray. Peaceful protests turned into a full-blown riot as police officers were pelted with rocks.

In May of 2015, Darron Wint made national headlines after he kidnapped the Savopoulos family and their housekeeper in their home. Wint held the family captive for about 18 hours, extorted $40,000, then killed the family before setting fire to the home. Wint is still awaiting trial, scheduled for September 2018.

These rankings show that homicide can affect areas both rural and urban, and LEOs, as well as other first responders around the country, have to face these situations on a daily basis.

You should look at per-capita murder rates. Total number is a stupid metric as it depends on the total population.

• The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions.

• In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.

• 8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.

I didn’t realize you knew all the details. That’s a time saver!

So who exactly is Logan Lever Clegg, and what precisely happened?

There was scuttlebutt that this was related to some white supremest types that used those woods. I wonder if this will turn out to be correct or if it was just robbery or madness.

Yes, as companies were bringing in undocumented workers with no market power who they could abuse. Aint capitalism grand!

Glad to see you are backing this strike 100%! That’s a refreshing change from you!

“Like every legitimate union and labor leader, the United Farm Workers and Cesar Chavez strongly opposed strikebreaking by anyone, no matter who they were or where they were from. Farm worker walkouts would have quickly been won in the fields if growers hadn’t recruited strikebreakers (or scabs) from outside their companies—and increasingly undocumented workers from outside the country—to take the jobs of striking field workers, forcing the UFW into bitter and protracted strikes and boycotts.”

I can tell that you think you are making a point. It’s cute!

However your point is a pro-union, not anti-immigration point. Guess you can’t see that.

“When it came to how the union was run and its immigration stands, no American union or labor leader embraced undocumented immigrants and immigration reform earlier and more consistency than the UFW and Cesar Chavez. “

Telling…

in this case the mean will overweight the higher end of the pay scale (the most senior, most overtime etc.)

Median is more appropriate imho.

The lack of unions is the reason that real wages have materially underperformed real productivity over the last 40 years.

I guess you have no concept of labor relations or any knowledge of American industrial history. But please let us know what you think…

Great! All the people complaining about the strike are making a strong argument for increased immigration! Good on you!

Why don’t you learn something about the agreements they had in place instead of being a confident “moron”. Renegotiates are explicitly contemplated at specific points. Nobody is five here.

I think all adults can agree that you know when you are drinking and driving. That’s part of being a grown up. You’ll find that out one day.

How is Drunk Driving not premeditated? Not sure if you understand what that word means...

Well anywhere would be a good start...

Why are you not listening the Republicans who have been censured or removed from the party for being crazy?

The drunk ones. Now can you tell me of any Republicans crazies who have been kicked out of the party?

And she was removed from the party. Now do the GOP's crazies. I'll get a pillow cause it's gonna be a long wait...

Who was kicked out by the party for being a loon.

See the difference? Now do the GOP…
