USPS Dog Bite Rankings - Quick Research Project

Hello from the other side of the pound, USPS published their 2023 dog bite rankings. I wonder if someone with some time to spare could:

  • calculate dog bites per capita for each city and rank them

  • find out whether those cities have any type of breed specific legislation or no breed specific legislation and color code them in some way

  • point out which large cities with BSL that are active are noticeably absent

I know of the top 10 States, Ohio and Montana don't have state preemption - the rest do. That said those states don't really have any local pit bull bans anyway. Michigan is the one which has it enacted in quite a few counties still.
