So, Birmingham household income ~ $15K less than the state average. Boise ~$3700 more than the rest of the state. Been known for years, more crime in poor areas, even in all White trailer parks.
Another thing, Birmingham is a dying city it would appear. What happened to good paying steel mill and other jobs there? Population is going down it seems
Population in 2017: 210,710 (99% urban, 1% rural). Population change since 2000: -13.2%
Boise? A growth city, jobs for everyone? 22% growth in 17 years.
Population in 2017: 226,570 (100% urban, 0% rural). Population change since 2000: +22.0%
Can it ALL be attributed to "race" as you allude to?
Well, I think if I had to live in Birmingham, a dying city in the South, with little chance for a decent paying job................I might just want to commit murder too.
