In other news, about 2% of the US counties have about 51% of the population.

The problem isn't the distribution, it's the rate of murders when compared with other industrialised states.

Agreed, this statistic is meaningless[1]:

Los Angeles County, California population: 10,137,915

Kalawao County, Hawaii population: 88
