The Heritage Foundation data sources contradict its report that the US city with the 30th highest rate of homicide was 2.4 / 100K. One of their referenced sources- "CHR&R" (footnote 25) - has more than 1K counties with higher homicide rates. Here's that data. Relevant links are in the comments.

The population for that county is less than 6K people, so they may have had just 1 homicide.
Now what about everything around the Mississippi river?
