The Puerto Rico data does not tell the whole story. My island is 100×35 miles in size. It has a higher rate than Mexico.

But numbers don't tell the whole story. I remember waking up and laying on the floor of my bedroom because there was a drug gang shootout with automatic AK-47s in front of my home. Seeing the blood stains of victims on a neighbor's walls (someone was executed against a wall). The sound of weapons always being a part of the night.
