I'd agree with that, but if those maps are just total numbers of incidents (not per capita) then it's just a reflection of where the most people live.
You'd no doubt get a similar picture for total numbers of injuries by auto accidents but unless you normalize for population, the numbers don't tell you much.
Did a lot deeper looking & Wyoming is good or at least better than initial per capita view, up until you include suicide. When you include suicide Wyoming sucks. While suicide is senseless, if an individual is looking at caring out a mass murder or suicide, given only those two individual choices suppose we will take the lesser of the evils every time.
