    Pretty sure the amount they’re listed as having on the graph is equivalent to one single homicide, due to their low population.

      Just checked. With a population of 40k people and a rate of 2.6 murders per 100k, that comes out to a whopping 1 murder. Interestingly, their homicide rate went up by 98.55% in 2021. So… yeah… 2 people murdered.

      Exactly. Extremely small population and short duration (just one year’s data) means even a small number of murders in a given year will easily bump it up.
