The Heritage Foundation data sources contradict its report that the US city with the 30th highest rate of homicide was 2.4 / 100K. One of their referenced sources- "CHR&R" (footnote 25) - has more than 1K counties with higher homicide rates. Here's that data. Relevant links are in the comments.

I applaud what was surely many hours painstaking looking for truth in the face of lazy lies.

Thanks for the feedback. Luckily I'm a nut about collecting demographics and frequently testing out different ideas as conversations come up, so I had already done most of the work before the article. I had even already included their data source in my data.
