Before you expand to more counties, please address the critiques here. Also note that these data are not homogeneous across jurisdictions. I like what you’re doing, but you need to be very careful about this analysis, or else it will just come off as uninformed by the people who work in this space. State public safety data is not uniformly collected.

You want to ensure you have all these caveats mentioned so that when it gains traction, you won’t waste as much time dealing with people who will try to invalidate your findings.
