There isn't a lot of people up there, so a single murder is more per capita.
Yup, similar to how one small "city" near me had their stats skewed to look worse than Winnipeg for awhile (the murder capitol of Canada and my hometown) because of one single murder.
I’m going to still not fuck with them, if that’s cool.
That's fine, they need fewer people fucking with them.
It's cool a lot of the time up there, but less so now with global warming.
I'm guessing it wasn't a single murder in each territory. A lot of communities up there are poor, traumatised and isolated, which makes people shootier.
With those numbers, no it's not a single murder, but the territories have in the neighbourhood of 45k people each.
Yep, they're good and empty. Nunavut is actually a bit smaller yet.
~~But Prince Edward Island is the lowest and it has a relatively tiny population~~.
Edit: nvm, I assumed wrong
Mistaking land mass for population.
PEI has about as many people as do all 3 territories combined. (Quick search, older stats).
PEI resident here. As of last year, we've got ~180k people living here.
That’s a map of poverty.
And of Canada and giliad
Interesting how the lower-population US States have a pretty low homicide rate that tends to increase as the population itself increases but in the Canadian Provinces it's the opposite effect.
The territories look really bad because they have less than 50,000 population each. So Yukon had about 3 total per year, NWT about 4, and Nunavut 3 as well.
Ahhh that makes sense
Perfect example of the causation fallacy.
If one were to look at that map out of context, once could say that if the temperature is too cold or too hot, murder rates increase.
We all know of course it's a map of economic disparity, and a whole host of other societal concerns contributing. But without the context of any of those things, we're liable to think that correlation equals causation.
It's an important lesson.
Dre told me Compton, California is the murder capitol of the US, but it doesn't even look like it's close to it.
Nah that's New Orleans, and you would've known that if you studied your Lil Wayne.
I'm surprised Wyoming is so low, true everyone is packing out here but the vast nothingness tends to screw with mind
All those degens in TX and that shit ain’t even red.
Well yeah. They keep them largely contained to Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.
Eh, why is D.C. that much higher than everything else, by a factor of 3-5+?
i’m not well versed on the causes, i imagine there’s a lot of factors at play. but do i have a friend who lived in DC for a few years, and talking to him about it was whacky.
i have a specific memory wherein he was just walking around outside while on the phone with me and there was gunfire in the background. i said something like “hey should you be outside right now?” and he, VERY CASUALLY replied “nah that’s a few blocks away, i’ll be fine.”
Detroit's been slacking off lately.
Nobody there to kill anymore.
typo on Manitoba
Damn look out for Delaware
