Wow, NH (my home state) is the lowest in the nation. It is interesting that MA is so close, yet is over twice the rate of NH....
If I read this right, one is 25 times more likely to be murdered in DC than in NH. That is an amazing difference...
According to this data (List of countries by intentional homicide rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), the UK is 2.03 per 100,000. NH is as safe as the UK. Japan is 1.1.

actually, it is the same as Japan and that's only in terms of murder rate. That doesn't count drunk drivers that kill people and that total number is usually about the same as those that die from homicides. That's not including reckless driving incidents and those that just get injured as well.
Not surprised to see Iowa low on the list. I grew up in an area of 100,000 there, and if there was EVER a murder the whole town just went insane.
A few years ago I saw where the Des Moines metro only had 5 murders for 550,000 people. I think a couple years ago the total was 38 homicides for around 3 million people.
It almost seems like the rate goes up going from north to south

Yes it is. But you must also remember its a city. A single City
I've heard that North Dakota has gone 2-3 years at a time without a homicide. Probably the same for some of the others at the bottom of that list.
Around these parts, we have our first 2-3 homicides of the year before New Years Day is over.
And why is that? Because of the way the national media portrays New Orleans?
Not that I am saying we are undeserving of the title. Louisiana's ghettos have a big problem with drugs and gun violence. I just don't understand how Newarkbomb is so completely familiar and informed when it comes to Louisiana crime that he feels he could've guessed it. But whatev.

The biggest killer up there is probably Old Man Winter!
