[VTJP] Vermont leads the list of states in number killed proportionate to state population

[James M Leas]

Vermont leads the list of states in number killed proportionate to state population   With ten Vermonters killed in Iraq, Vermont leads the list of states in number killed proportionate to state population. Vermont has 1.61 killed in Iraq per hundred thousand of population. Hawaii only has 0.23 killed per hundred thousand of population. The national average is .45. Thus, Vermont's ratio is 3.6 times the national average. The next highest state after Vermont is North Dakota with 1.43. Vermonters are paying the heaviest price of any state for this war, proportionate to state population.   To do the calculation yourself you need the numbers killed by state and the population of each state.
