People in isolated cities face higher violence

Caption

The lethality (measured by the number of casualties per 100,000 people each year) of cities with different highway connections (their degree) indicates that more isolated cities (with fewer connections) experience much higher lethality (left panel of figure). In addition, the researchers found that the most isolated 25% of cities are seven times more lethal than the least isolated 25% (right panel of the figure).
