Kinda impressive, Miami dade police county has an homicide rate of about 2.8... Gentrification working in miami... are the "poor" being moved to other place like Alabama, Texas or so...?
Yea Miami murder rate been declining every year for sometime now most of bad apples and lower income are moving out of Miami because of rising costs. They moving to other FL cities or out of state.

Orlando 21
Daytona Beach 7 (nearly 67,000)
West Palm Beach 26(population nearly 110,000)
Boynton beach 9

Along with the drug trade going through Middle America, I think a lot of it could be that poorer/economically disadvantaged people are moving away from the coasts due to price increases/gentrification and are settling in these lower cost area, bringing their problems with them.

Yeah a lot of Bay Area crime has been priced out and is now in a lot of Central California cities like Stockton and Fresno.
I wonder if there is a metro area with similar demographics anywhere in the northern U. S. with nearly as low a murder rate.
There isn't a northern metro with similar demographics of that population or of any population size. The closest in terms of population and group demographics may be the Vineland-Millville-Bridgeton NJ metro area
There should be seeing how Mississippi has one of the highest crime rates as a state.
But one of the lowest, if not the lowest, black homicide rates. It is the fact that it has proportionately the largest black population of any state that is responsible for its high homicide rate, not that the murder rate of any demographic group in the state is high by national standards.
