Why your need to even use the term “ghetto” ?
Gun murders also occur elsewhere, and gun deaths, gun injuries,
and gun intimidations occur throughout our cities and states.
This has been one of my points in subsequent postings.
All those things happen everywhere, and the higher the population the more often it will happen.

You refiguring using the population density of the state, then pointing out the northeast is high on the list, caused UT's shorthand explanation, ghettos.
Then I went into it further, explaining the number of ghettos in the northeast is higher, and that number skews the, gun-trouble vs state-density, graph.

I don't understand your objection to ghetto, it's a perfectly cromulent word. It's shorthand that people understand. While the reasons may vary why the ghetto they're familiar with may exist, they'll know the result.
