This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

California's youth gun homicide rate dropped 50% between 2006-2022. Over the same period, Texas's rate rose 49% and Florida's rate rose 23% (lemmy.world)

Interesting that California's was higher than Florida/Texas until 2007 and 2015.

So if I understand that right, the “per 100,000” figures aren’t for the exact populations, but for what the populations would be if the age groups were re-weighted to keep the age demographics constant?

Right, it imposes the collected data on a chosen model population. I wish it told you what that population was, but I don’t see it.
