I'm afraid this isn't entirely accurate because several US states with comparable populations have significantly lower murder rates. For example there's Idaho, with 2.2/100,000, New Hampshire, with 1.4/100,000, and even West Virginia, with 3.7/100,000 (just for the record, though, I would rather live in Manitoba than WV 7 days a week and twice on Sundays)
