After simple figures are laid side by side to compare and contrast these great cities, the light of reality of a tells a story of the abstraction of the results between the two major cities.
The enduring question of course is why the difference? What is the cause for the variance?
This is how Statistics Work
CHICAGO
HOUSTON, TX
Population
2.7 million
2.15 million
Median HH Income
$38,600
$37,000
% African-American
38.9%
24%
% Hispanic
29.9%
44%
% Asian
5.5%
6%
% Non-Hispanic White
28.7%
26%
Pretty similar until you compare the following:
Chicago, IL
Houston, TX
Concealed Carry - Legal
No
Yes
Number of Gun Stores
None
184 Dedicated gun stores plus 1500 legal places to buy guns - Wal-Mart, K-Mart, sporting goods, etc.

1,806
207
Homicides per 100K
38.4
9.6
Avg January high temperature (F)

Conclusion: Cold weather causes murders. This is due to climate change.
Makes sense to me!
