The City vs. The County

​

Each wedge represents a month in a year. Reading it like an analog clock the year starts at 1 o'clock angle. The month wedge's first day  of each month starts in the center of the circle.  If there is more than one victim from the same race in a day.  A space (or white line) is made in the day section. 

Is it in the weather or maybe it's the moon...
