Newly Released Report Ranks This US City WORSE Than Serving In Afghanistan And Iraq For Young Men

A new report published in the medical journal JAMA Network Open has revealed a shocking statistic: the most dangerous Chicago ZIP code is deadlier for young men between the ages of 18-29 than what U.S. troops faced in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Among men ages 18 to 29, the annual rate of firearm homicides in that ZIP code was 1,277 per 100,000 people in 2021 and 2022, compared with an annual death rate for U.S. troops in a heavily engaged combat brigade in Iraq of 675 per 100,000.

The report has raised serious questions about the safety of young men in the city of Chicago and other cities across the country. It’s not just Chicago that is experiencing this level of violence; other cities such as Baltimore, St. Louis, and Detroit have also seen similar levels of danger for young men. The report highlights the need for an immediate and comprehensive solution to address the issue of gun violence in America.

The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Chicago, who used data from the Chicago Police Department to analyze the rates of violence in different ZIP codes. The results were shocking, with the violence in the Chicago ZIP code far exceeding that of the war zones.

The report also highlighted the fact that the violence in the Chicago ZIP code is not just limited to firearms. The researchers found that there were higher rates of non-gun homicides and assaults than in the war zones as well.

The report’s authors called for urgent action to address the issue of gun violence in America. They argued that the violence in Chicago’s most dangerous ZIP code is a symptom of a deeper problem in our society. They argued that there needs to be a comprehensive approach to tackling the issue, including better access to mental health care, improved economic opportunities, and stronger gun control laws.

The authors of the report also highlighted the fact that the issue of gun violence is not limited to Chicago. They argued that the same issues of poverty, inequality, and lack of access to mental health care that plague Chicago’s most dangerous ZIP code can be found in other cities across the country.

The report concludes that the only way to address the issue of gun violence is to take a holistic approach that focuses on the underlying causes of the violence.
