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.

Certain regions within the city are more dangerous for a young black man than if he were serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. Areas like Auburn Gresham, Austin, Garfield Park, etc. are literally warzones with 10x the per capita homicide rate of the city as a whole. It's pretty hand wavy to point at rural counties where the homicide rate can swing a lot by having one more or fewer murder per year when these areas with a similar population to the rural county are dropping 40+ bodies a year in a few block radius.
