US Urbanity vs. Gun Ownership

Compares % of the population that that lives in urban centers to the % of the population that owns firearms. Unsurprisingly, it shows a fair correlation (53%) between rural population and gun owning population.

 

The y-intercept point and x=100 point predict that 2% of a purely urban population and 80% of a purely rural population will own guns. That's an interesting novelty of a factoid, to be taken with a grain of salt.
