If we're going to do a comparison, here are some other cities in the area we can compare Burlington to:

Burlington, VT, 5 murders, murder rate: 11.2/100,000

NYC, 419 murders, murder rate: 4.8/100,000

Boston, 41 murders, murder rate: 6.1/100,000

Here's a list of more rates around New England:

Once again, this could just be a statistical anomaly. But if we're going to compare cities, we should look at the rates, not just the totals.
