This post began as an analysis to show that there was no correlation between gun ownership rates and murder rates. Instead, I found a strong correlation between race and murder rates. Let me begin by showing the data for the most dangerous cities:
From neighborhood scout, the 20 US cities with the highest murder rates:
1 East Saint Louis, IL. The city's population is 97.4% black. In 2014 the murder rate of city of East St. Louis was higher than that of Honduras, the country with the highest murder rate in the world.
2 Chester, PA This city had a Republican mayor until 2011. The city's population is 74% black.
3 St Louis, MO This city's population is 46% black.
4 Gary, IN This city's population is 85% black.
5 Detroit, MI This city's population is 83% black.
6 Camden, NJ This city's population is 48% black.
7 New Orleans, LA This city's population is 60% black.
8 Riviera Beach, FL This city's population is 67% black.
9 Trenton, NJ This city's population is 52% black.
10 Wilmington, DE This city's population is 58% black.
11 Jackson, MS This city's population is 79% black.
12 Harrisburg, PA This city's population is 52% black.
13 Baltimore, MD This city's population is 63% black.
14 Newark, NJ This city's population is 52% black.
15 Petersburg, VA This city's population is 79% black.
16 Pine Bluff, AR This city's population is 75% black.
17 Rocky Mount, NC This city's population is 61% black.
18 Flint, MI This city's population is 53% black.
19 Bridgeton, NJ This city's population is 36% black.
20 Harvey, IL This city's population is 75% black.
The US population is approximately 12.6% black. Each and every one of the 20 most murder prone cities in the country have a black population that is at least three times higher than that, and more often than not, five times higher. Two questions immediately come to mind:
1 If Black Lives Matter really believed that Black Lives Matter, then why aren't they trying to find the cause of this?
2 What is causing such a strong correlation between black population density and murder?
