Do you have a map or a reference for that detail? Doesn't look like the WaPo map is coming back anytime soon.

*74 / 570k. 2 homicides happened in Dundalk, and another one in Catonsville.

Eastern DC/PG has always been as wild as Baltimore historically. Nothing new.

Wouldn't those be manslaughter, not homicide?

That's a bit misleading, since Seattle hit 69 when it had literally half its current population, so the rate was much higher, even compared to the current pace.

Not demographically though. SE/NE DC and inner PG is almost completely Black unlike Baltimore City. That area of the DC region has way more historical oppression impacting families than Baltimore City which is now only 59% Black. It may be seeing a huge influx of Black driven gentrification as Black middle class families move into that area of DC, but the remnants of slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, and drugs which together created these issues can still be seen and felt in those areas.
