Could you do Jackson , MS? I'm quite curious on it and to add to those percentage are higher when a few of those tracts experience 1 homicide every other year or years apart.
I did Jackson, MS here as well as Indianapolis. I also updated Chicago's data as the last data was from a few days before 12/31 and there were a few homicides after that to be counted. Jackson not good in this regard. Looking to do St. Louis once they release their December transactional crime data..

Thank you. This information is useful to help avoid crime ridden and run down cities' areas. Have they released Memphis and Richmond?

I plan on also making some heat maps of the cities I can calculate it for. I think it also highlights which cities for more of its residents is worse off than others regardless of the amount of homicide - i.e. Baltimore appears pretty bad for the majority of residents and Jackson to an extent. Places like Chicago are OK for most residents of the city, but the areas that are bad are very bad as we know. Just shows you that a lot of the city is fine, but then there's some swaths that are the opposite of fine.
Not sure about Richmond, but I do have a source for Memphis that might allow me to do this.
Of the cities I've calculated so far, here are the worst tracts by both count and homicide rate. Click on the links to take you to a page that can show you the geographical boundaries. Again this is only so far out of some cities. Many many cities not here, but out of LA, DC, Chicago, Louisville, Baltimore, Jackson, Detroit, and Indianapolis..

I thought it would be misleading since Jackson's is on the smaller end core wise. Additionally been a hectic year in regardto homicides.

What I found by doing it is that things were pretty spread out. Definitely a number of homicides not right in the core which surprised me. There were numerous that happened on borderline country esque roads (my standard at least).

Additionally it occured to me that the boundaries of a census tract expands more the smaller the population.

I think a heat map would help to visualize these things a little better. I'll do those at another time. At the same time, doing this by physical area per tract. The main point is to show the number of people who can say "yes there was a homicide 3 months ago just 3 blocks away from me." Whether they think it will happen to them or not, guaranteed it affects most people at some level - especially when it keeps happening within a 3 or 4 block radius of you.

People have to keep in mind ( besides stray bullets) that there personal network & daily hang arounds add/subtract the risk factor.

I understand that, but most people also have it in the back of their mind that someone was killed recently near where they live regardless of whether they think it's going to happen to them or not. It affects people at some level. Most people are not rational about how violent crime happens and to whom. It's also to show which cities are more confined with this stuff and which are more spread out where people live in the city.

Are these stats taking into account the physical area of said censes tract or its population relative to the rest of the city?
