The study explains, &#8220;The most dangerous 5% of the counties accounted for 71% of the murders in 2010, falling to 69% in 2014, and then rising to 73% by 2020.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Population Distibution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking into account the population distribution, the study discovered that between 2010 and 2020, while the number of murders fluctuated in the worse 5% of counties, the overall population distribution remained the same.
