Oh look, it’s a map of how poverty and crime correlate again.

Now remove the 60% of gun deaths that are suicides.

Mississippi is that Major league baseball team that doesn’t try to win championships, but just enjoys the shared revenue

Weird how the state with the most consistently liberal laws (Massachusetts) is almost always in the best colors of these maps

I’m loving seeing LA MS and AL in the lead (worse ranked?) for all these graphs recently!

Rhode Island and Massachusetts killing it yet again. Pun intended.

Shit data when you don’t remove suicides. Not to mention, you just straight-up copied this visual from Wikipedia. What a dog shit post all around.

I feel like this graphic would be better if it wasn’t 4 shades of red.

Now remove gun deaths from suicide and self defense

Minnesota once again showing how it’s the best state in the Midwest.

Honestly, it makes sense that modern conservatives focus so feverishly on arts and crafts culture wars – their worldview is completely unsupported by actual empirical data LMAOO

Like I imagine many things do, this follows along a bit closely with a poverty rate map, doesn’t it?
I think the big difference are the big rural states like Alaska or Montana and Wyoming, something else is going on there. Wonder what’s doing it in Missouri.

The color scheme is relatively misleading compared to the numbers. The numbers actually don’t seem as bad as I had anticipated
25 gun deaths per 100k people is .025% of the population
Obligatory ‘gun violence is bad’ qualifier

Looks like they need the national guard deployed to the Deep South. Such chaos and disorder.

Very heavily skewed because of population density.

I wonder if what this map is showing is the effectiveness of gun ownership laws.
Thoughts?

Sorry OP, your visualization is fine, if a bit unsurprising. But these types of visualizations are getting a bit tiresome. Can we add a rule to this sub that color coded maps of the US are only allowed every fourth Monday of the month or something?
Also I’m confused by the tool you linked. Did you literally just recreate by hand the exact map in the cdc page you linked using that tool?

It’s wild how every state that fights for guns has the worst rates. 🤷 and they’re also the most poorly educated, have poor healthcare, poor birth care, poor child care, poor….hmm what do those states have in common? 🤔🤔🤔

Huh funny that states with stricter gun laws have less deaths overall..

Suspiciously high correlation with the other map just posted showing the Trump election results margins for white americans by state…

Now it would be interesting to see how that map correlates with state gun laws such as open/concealed carry permissiveness.

LA, MS, and AL are like Harry, Ron, and Hermine. It’s always those three deep in some bad juju.

always funny to me how this looks quite similar to the map of the black population percentage per state

The average for the EU is 1.5.

What percentage of these deaths are suicide?

Do it for counties and then compare it to demographics and income.
