When the CDC data is broken down to a county level, it gets more disturbing. Btwn 2015 & 2019, there are whole counties that didn't record one gun-related homicide but recorded double-digit gun suicides, as seen in the interactive map embedded in the story. (3)

Local news is changing, and ABC-owned TV stations are upping their game by investing in investigative journalism. The first major (and ambitious) initiative from the ABC stations' data team is out today: 'Our America: Equity Report.' https://t.co/BSmQq58Re5
"In at least 18 of the 20 categories measured, the data revealed inequities in more than half of the United States' largest cities."
That includes gaps like access to health coverage.
