Murder rates are typically reported on a per capita basis, not per day rate.

Siri is reporting CHAZ had a population of 80(??) and Somolia a population of 15MM. The respective per capita rates would be 0.025 and ~3.99e-5

I apologize, some how I misread the parent as saying that there were more murders per day....

I am not sure how I misread that.

No reason to apologize, just trying to add some context/clarity
