One homicide in a town of 1,800 people would give you a homicide rate of 56 per 100,000. I wouldn’t read into that statistic too much.


My thought as well. A homicide happened in this town, is all that statistic shows.


Pine Bluff's population is much larger than 1,800. I'll just quote the full Wikipedia excerpt:

Pine Bluff had 29 homicides in 2021. Pine Bluff had 23 murders in 2020 - a rate of 56.5 murders per 100,000 people. The national average was 6.5 murders per 100,000 people in 2020.

As of July 29, in 2022 there have been 17 homicides reported in Pine Bluff.
