Here is the original paper: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1903856116 https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1903856116 They use multinomial regression analysis with several county-level socioeconomic factors.

Profiling stability of both the police and the potential victims should be able to predicatively show who is danger of being shot. Making that into a public health survey could be beneficial.

If use county-level data how do they account for more granular neighborhood demographics? Maricopa County encompasses all of Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, etc. Cook County has a huge amount of the Chicago metro area. I expect this effect plays out throughout the US.
