Murder Map Released

Data Haven

Since 2005, 85 percent of New Haven homicides have occurred in just one-third of all city neighborhoods.

And neighborhoods that saw two or more homicides from 2005 to 2011 … are almost entirely African-American and Latino.”

That’s the word from the not-for-profit numbers-crunching outfit called Data Haven. It has produced a report and map matching homicides over six years with U.S. Census data.
