We wrote about homicide rates in the 60 largest U.S. cities yesterday. Which made us think about how many CA cities are in the list of 60 largest U.S. cities. The actual count is 12 or one-fifth of the total. The remaining 48 cities are scattered unevenly among the 49 other states, TX has 8.
Classically, we say CA has 1/8 of the U.S. population, it's not exact but close. However, the state has 1/5 of the largest cities. That suggests its population is substantially more urban than the country as a whole.
Sad. Rural CA doesn't feel represented by the elected idiots in Sacramento. They mostly come from urban districts.
