Maybe not bodies piling up, but that's almost a 30% increase per capita, which is pretty significant.

Still, it doesn't take into account the per captia as the population has increased greatly in that time period. It also compares with the lowest decade of homicide by guns in a long time. Per capita, the 1970s were higher.

Per capita is by definition adjusting for population change. It literally means "per person".

I factored in the population increase, that's why I wrote per capita. Without looking at the population increase that's an increase of exactly 50%.
