It's a complicated statistical problem with many variables and unknowns.

That said based on personal observation and experience violent crime is associated with poverty.

I recently moved to a small town and reviewed the crime statistics. At first they seemed alarming with violent crime rates 1.6 times the national average. It's an almost entirely white community. Talking with the residents in my neighborhood crime seemed extremely rare. That is despite being in one of the high crime areas according to the statistics. Looking at the statistics it turned out most of the violent crime was between acquaintances or nonstrangers as used in the below study. Poor people are under a lot of stress and typically have poor coping mechanisms. Often related to high testosterone and low IQ. The relationship between poverty and violent crime can be found in the below link.

Additionally there is a culture of violence but it isn't limited to blacks. In my rural area it is related to first meth and to some extent alcohol abuse. Wherever there is a illegal drug culture you will find a high rate of violent crime. Drugs make dumb people dumber and smart people dumb. Combine that with a "gun culture" and it gets even worse. There is a certain romance with violence that is part of the American culture and almost every other loosely organized culture. Thus the historic popularity of Westerns. There is also a tradition of "honor" that calls for retribution as seen in isolated communities such as "hillbilly" traditions. Not unlike the kind of violence you see in certain "West Asian" countries and the Balkans or historically in the Highlands of Scotland. The culture of violence is a very complex topic.

That aside "Utilizing data from the Gun Violence Archive and American Community Survey, the researchers found that, among middle class neighborhoods, the rate of gun homicides is more than four times higher in neighborhoods with mostly Black residents than neighborhoods with mostly white residents." [penntoday.upenn.edu] I wouldn't read to much into that however because the same is true historically of immigrant communities. A culture of not trusting authority seems to be a key component. Genetics of course is always a factor even among non blacks. I suspect it relates to how long a particular genetic group has been under high self domestication pressure. The opposite is of course true in environments that give greater fitness to those with a "fast lifestyle". The natural easy but unstable environment. In harsh but stable environments such as Japan's violent crime would be expected to be lower because it favors in terms of fitness those adapted to a "slow lifestyle".

Essentially true. and those zip cod areas are in major metropolitan cites RUN BY FAR LEFT DEMOCRATS.

To say that "only a few zipcodes" have the problem is an obfuscation of the real source and cause of violent crime in USA.
Only about 20 or so cities or major metropolitan areas are the true source of the problem. Furthermore most of those cities are managed by Democrats and Black leadership. You know places like - DC, LA, SanFran/Oakland, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Memphis, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Houston...like it or not - acknowledge it or not the crime problem in this country (USA) is a racial problem. Namely it is a Black Culture problem.

True, and that black culture was twisted into its current shape by Democrat policies aimed at putting the black people back in chains. The XIII Amendment forbids them from using iron or steel, so the chains they employ today are ones of tax money and rhetoric.
