Good write-up. There's also this prior write-up and collection of more of those regression studies. This includes one also on counties with more socioeconomic variables.

I'd be interested in side by side maps for homicide rates and population density, also rates over time. Would I be correct to assume there are rural places where even a single murder is enough to put you in the red/black because the population is so low? Is what we read ... that homicide in the USA is largely an urban affair ... true?
