Jeepers, who'da thunk? Counties with cities have the highest murder rates. I think you've really discovered something here, Jim.
Duh...
Used to stay at the Howard Johnson in Mercer, PA on our cross country trips back in the day.Not true. Here in Mercer County Pennsylvania, the Republicans are in power and we have 3 cities, Farrell, Sharon and Hermitage. Yet our murder rate is 33% less than the US average.

A largely rural area?...I'd expect you'd have a lower murder rate than let's say, the counties that contain Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
I suspect that because the three counties you identified...ARE largely rural counties. Whom I'd expect to have a lower murder rate...because they are rural counties.Of course you would suspect that, as Mercer County is controlled by Republicans. Allegheny (Pittsburgh) is controlled by the Far Left. Allegheny County has a considerable amount of farm land as well, BTW. My nephew owns a home in the city of Imperial in Allegheny and it has a lot of rural areas.
yea that city is on many of those crime shows.....Lt Joe Kenda city Colorado Springs seems to have a lot of murders too....Yikes. Ok Harry, you run with that. No, it doesn't eliminate the red ones. According to the Heritage article, that appears to be conjecture.
Take a good look at my favorite red city for murder, Tulsa, OK. for an example.
wherever population clusters, that is evens out the rural-urban disparity you will find Democrats lead mightily in crimeNew research shows that since 2002, blue counties, counties under democrat party control, have higher murder rates….,
The policies if the democrat party cause murder….normal people who own guns for sport, self defense, hunting, collecting do not cause gun crime or gun murder….
Democrats being soft on violent criminals…refusing to prosecute them, releasing them over and over again no matter how many violent gun crimes they commit, are the source of our gun crime and murder problem in this country…
But the democrats want to ban guns….they cant send out their brown shirts…blm and antifa, to burn, loot and murder in Red areas because the Red areas have lots of guns……
Kyle Rittenhouse reinforced their understanding of why attacking armed citizens is a bad idea…..so that is the primary reason they push gun control..,
But in the new Heritage report, authored by Kevin Dayaratna and Alexander Gage, debunks this claim by pointing out that the studies which made this assertion – including a study by the left-wing think tank Third Way – simply look at crime on a state-by-state basis rather than on a local level.
“It is true that red states have higher homicide rates than blue states, but the problem with this is that crime is a hyper-localized phenomenon,” said Dayaratna. “It doesn’t make sense to talk about at the state level. It makes sense to talk about at the local level because that’s where the prosecutions occur. The local level crime is handled at the local level by local police, so when you look at this question on a local basis, namely the county level, you’ll see that the trend is reversed.”
“If you look at the analysis on a state-by-state level, it’s 34% higher in red states and blue states, according to the most recent data we analyzed, but then when you look at it as a county-by-county level, it is 60% higher in blue counties than red counties,” he continued.
Furthermore, Dayaratna pointed out that studies like Third Way’s failed to take into consideration the political shift of many states in the last 20 years, as some former swing states have now become much more reliably Republican while others have become solidly Democratic.
Report: Murder Rate is Higher in Blue Counties than in Red Ones › American Greatness
A new report from a conservative think tank reveals that the rate of homicides have consistently been higher in Democrat-run counties than Republican-run ones since 2002. According to Fox News…amgreatness.com

NO, that is making the mistake of confusing murder per populace with murder per area. Tsk TskI suspect that because the three counties you identified...ARE largely rural counties. Whom I'd expect to have a lower murder rate...because they are rural counties.
Beautiful country.
Can be the same thing.NO, that is making the mistake of confusing murder per populace with murder per area. Tsk Tsk
Using murder -rates- allows valid comparisons between populations of different sizes.Can be the same thing.
And in this case, the murder rate is low in these counties...because they don't have a lot people in them.
Jesus...I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less.Using murder -rates- allows valid comparisons between populations of different sizes.
Why would you expect a lower -rate- from an area with smaller population?
