      Uh, well, you can, and do, remove clear outliers in other statistical sets.

        No, you normalize the data to account for the higher density of people.

        You can’t just ignore the 3 largest cities because they have more people or higher crime rates.

        Sure, we obviously have wrong data for 19 yo. Let’s just remove it from the data. And those three cities, clear outliers, 3 cities won’t affect the data noticeably anyway
