Worth repeating: 50% of crime happens in 2% of America

h/t Instapundit
Data from 2014, the most recent year that a county level breakdown is available, shows us that 54% of counties (containing 11% of the population) had zero murders. 69% of counties had no more than one murder, and held 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. The study shows more than half of all murders occurred in just 2% of counties nationwide.

#1  Can't say it enough. Even though you have to get there via the questionable Unz Review, Paul Kersey's blog is always worth a look...
