Hmmm.... I wonder what that means - the NorthEast is a ghetto ?
Yes, relative to the spacious wonders of our counterparts on the left coast.
All the population density is there as well. Take the "ghettos" out of the statistical analysis, and I think a very different picture would be told.

That sounds as though the biggest problem is "gun murders by Black-on-Black",
(or Hispanic-on-Hispanic, or just a "local" issue.)

What about other categories of "gun death", "gun injury", "gun intimidation" and/or "gun accident" ?
Maybe our problems will go away if we can keep taking out categories,
such as the Native Americans from the statistics of "suicide by race"

The high suicide rate for Indians stems from lingering guilt over their forbearer's predidation on the poor peace loving white Europeans passing by.
