Greenland is a desolate artic waste and only has a population of 56.6k. 6 homicides would be enough to earn it the second highest rating.
They should have made 10-20 a light orange, or made 20+ Black.
They should have posted the actual numbers as this is where the concept of "lies, damned lies, and statistics" comes in play. As mentioned in the case of Greenland only 6 homicides are needed to earn the second top rating. Only 12 would be needed for the top. Meanwhile the USA would need over 33'200 homicides to quality for the second top rating and over 66'400 for the top one.
Going from 33'200 to 33'206 would probably be considered a rounding error and even if it weren't it wouldn't really matter when the population involved is a third of a billion. Going from 6 to 12 however when your population is only that of a dial up modem is not only a 100% increase in homicides but also enough to change your rating on that second map despite the fact the increase in both countries would be the same number.
Not that the first map is any better seeing as how it is measuring "guns per 100 people" and the USA has the largest military in the world 🙄

That "guns per 100 people" is civilian firearm ownership.
Do they count gangs killing each other as homicides?
