Trying to understand reason Black on Black crime stats are used to discredit BLM—wouldn’t high rates of crime impacting an identifiable community still roll up to a societal failure to serve that community? As US citizens, it’s not just “their problem” isn’t it “our problem”?
Confounding factor: gang/organized crime creates problems in communities adjacent to wealth. Rural US is poor, and there's no sense in trying to rob it. Median household income in the Tenderloin is *higher* than the US average, but nobody calls the TL a wealthy neighborhood

That's true.
@RCAFDM for economic analysis why not use rent-adjusted income? It seems to invalidate the entire analysis -
I'm not sure I get the argument being made above (laffer curve for crime?) and many would argue with CoL adjustment in other contexts, but I very much doubt such an adjustment would have a large effect on the results.
