Steve's Current Quote or Thought:
Just a reminder: the Guantanamo Bay detention camp is still open; capacity is 800. Hmmmmm...

Murders in US very concentrated: 54% of US counties in 2014 had zero murders, 2% of counties have 51% of the murders

So, the majority of us live in places where there are no murders...
I found this on the CrimeResearch.org website:
"In 2014, the most recent year that a county level breakdown is available, 54% of counties (with 11% of the population) have no murders. 69% of counties have no more than one murder, and about 20% of the population. These counties account for only 4% of all murders in the country.

The worst 1% of counties have 19% of the population and 37% of the murders. The worst 5% of counties contain 47% of the population and account for 68% of murders. As shown in figure 2, over half of murders occurred in only 2% of counties."
