Interesting to see how this translates to red and blue states. I also had to idea that Michigan was so populated..... (or if it isn't, there are just a lot of gun and motor vehicle deaths there).
ETA: Since I'm a number/ math nerd,
this was interesting to me. DC is high up there with the guns, as are the Virgin Islands (whoa!)
This makes me think that being in Massachusetts I have a good chance of not being killed by vehicle or gun. Now I just need to avoid the coyotes that hang out by my car early in the morning when I'm going to work....
