Starkville Mississippi DUI Statistics
June 5, 2008
In my last post I wrote how there seem to be a disproportinally high number of duis coming from college towns such as Starkville and Oxford, MS. So today I wanted to actually post a statistic.
According to the Starkvill Sheriff’s department and Starkville Police department, in 2007 there were roughly 340 DUI arrests made in Starkville. There is a rough population of 22,000 people in Starkville plus a student population of around 16,500. However many of those students are actually counted as both students and Starkville residents. So for this post let’s just assume that one-third of the student’s are also counted as residents. This would mean that there are around 33,000 people living in Starkville.
Using these figures (which are just rough numbers) we can see that out1 of every 97 people living in Starkville is arrested for a DUI each year. This is a staggering number.
To give you something to compare this against we can look at Memphis DUI statistics. Memphis has metro population of about 1.1 million people. Last year there were around 2,100 DUI tickets given in Memphis. That means that in Memphis 1 person out of every 523 received a DUI last year. That’s an enormous difference in the percentage receiving a DUI.
What this means is that you should be sure to not Drive Drunk in Starkville. But if you do make sure to request our FREE BOOK “How to Select a DUI Lawyer and MS DUI Defense Guide”.
