Read the article, it is highly disproportionate. 2% of counties have 51% of the murders but not 51% of the population. Even within counties is is mostly  limited to some city districts with sky high murder rates.

Forget the article look at the Actual facts and Data

The states with the highest homicide rates in the USA are in 2016

GOLD medal Louisiana 11.8,

SILVER medal Missouri 8.8

BRONZE medal  Alabama 8.4

Why is this?

           
             
   

A state wide comparison hides the relevant urban/rural distinction. The murders happen in the left/democratic dominated city districts of these states, not in the rural areas.
