Baltimore has been calm - but murder rate is still high

https://www.citylab.com/equity/2020/06/george-floyd-protest-baltimore-freddie-gray-police-violence/612685/

Homicides in the city claimed 348 people in 2019, the highest number
in a quarter century. With 58 murders per 100,000 residents, Baltimore
is still the deadliest city in the U.S. with a population larger than
500,000.

--------------------------

I wonder if that is a matter of geography? If you combine Baltimore
City and Baltimore County - what would you get for a murder rate?

(Baltimore City is surrounded on 3 sides by Baltimore County - and on
one side by Baltimore Harbor)
