    Question

    In 2018, the USA had a murder rate of 4.96 per 100,000 inhabitants. The United States experience a surge in murder in 2020 after the unrest following the death of George Floyd, a trend which continued into 2021. The murder rate was measured at 6.5 murders per 100,000 inhabitants, not as high as the peak of around 10.

    What will the US murder rate be in 2030?

    This question will resolve as the value of the US murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants in 2030, as reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or another reliable source if necessary.
