This is what I personally can't stand about internet posters. Posting forcefully about things they have done no research on.
The borough of the Bronx compared to a number of cities
Using total crime as that's what was used.
Chances of being a victim of property/violent crime
Bronx 1 in 95, 1 in 54
Cleveland 1 in 63, 1 in 16
Denver 1 in 148, 1 in 28
San Francisco 1 in 127, 1 in 16
25% more likely to be a affected by violent crime than in San Francisco. And Less likely to be affected by property crime.
No one is saying all areas of the Bronx are utopias (definitely not), but from what I've experienced, people posting comments like the above are either made to disparage, or often are just blindly repeating what someone has read with zero knowledge of facts.
> With a crime rate of 70 per one thousand residents, San Francisco has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 14.

- pavel_lishin 9y agoThank you for putting those statistics in context; I was going to ask StanislavPetrov to do it, given that he was happy enough to reply to my comment with some "research". This whole thing is turning into a bizarre "у вас негров линчуют" scenario, complete with a Russian name (one that I'm sure the original Petrov - who actually knew enough about what his particular area of expertise to save the world - would have been loathe to see.)
- StanislavPetrov 9y agoWhat I personally can't stand are braying internet jackasses who read statistics and try to tell people who actually live somewhere how things are.
