Massachusetts wins like all these maps.
Hawaii, Mass, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, and New Hampshire.
What a weird cross section of top performers.
South once again showing its absolute dog shit when it comes to quality of life.
Is this firearms deaths or firearms homicides? Obviously the title is deaths, but the fact that they cite DC for firearms homicides gives me pause.
This isn’t actually as bad as I would have expected…
Age-adjusted? Age of who? What does age have to do with anything? Adjusted how?
But I was told Portland is a war zone!
As always, DC should not be included unless large cities are independently included of their states.
First 25 years of my life were in Louisiana
Yet
Never knew anyone that was shot, shot at or had a gun pointed at them
Not saying the numbers aren’t right
I believe almost all of it is a socio-economic thing
Of course DC is a city not a state so this comparison is ridiculous. Compared to other major US cities DC is far from being the worst.
Lmao it’s always the *same* map
Remove Memphis out of the metrics for TN and see how far that number drops, we went from like 3rd in crime rate to mid to high 30s in other studies after the same was done..
Population density? Poverty? Education?
Data source?
I was trying to figure out what the numbers meant. [Here’s the source](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/05/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-us/#:~:text=Those%20with%20the%20lowest%20gun%20murder%20rates,Rhode%20Island%2C%20South%20Dakota%2C%20Vermont%20and%20Wyoming.)
I didn’t know gun deaths were that low
DC is a city and not a state lol.
Does this count suicides?
The dark spot is always in the crotch of America.
I wonder what the states with really low numbers have in common. It’s not political since ID and MA are both 1.8 and they’re about as polar opposite as it gets politically. Along with NH, SD, NE and ME also a diverse group of states politically.
I can’t put my finger on it. Can someone help me out here?
We’ve had so many less shootings in my blue city since Trump sent the NG in. It’s so nice being able to let my kids finally walk to school again.
I drove through Mississippi once. Stopped twice for food and gas. Its the most disgusting hell hole piece of shit entity I have ever set foot on. Never again.
Map caption says „firearms deaths“. The caption for DC says, „firearms homicides“. This map would be more meaningful if it clarified whether it included accidental firearm deaths and firearm suicides.
Age-adjusted for what?
No fair. DC isn’t a state. Now go do “east St. Louis instead of “Missouri.”
gun regulation is a state issue
Remember this includes suicides, not sure what the age-related adjustment is. Suicides are usually more than 50%. Though at the high rates in a few places it may not be. The question is are restrictive gun laws helpful? Massachusetts is very restrictive, while New Hampshire is constitutional carry with few restrictions, numbers are similar. But it could be the location in the country as New England is relatively low.
Let’s see heart disease and traffic fatalities next
honestly im surprised that Michigan isn’t significantly higher
Waze says I can save 45 minutes on my commute by detouring through Anacostia. Nope. Load up a podcast and sit in traffic.
I feel like those top two states are more like one guy shoots at another guy because there was an alligator between the two of them and they didn’t consider stray bullets if they missed.
