What on earth are you talking about? You live in the state that is in the top 5 for violent crime rates. California doesn't even break the top 15.
- rukittenme 9y agoThis is why statistics never tell the full story. In California, ten people could be murdered outside your home every night versus one per week in Wyoming and Wyoming would still have the worse crime-rate. Statistically sound, factually accurate, but still Wyoming would feel safer. You also need to factor in the type of crime. If the only people getting shot are gang members then the crime-rate won't feel as close to home.
- downandout 9y agoYou have to look at crime rates in the specific area where you live, because they are all over the place and sometimes vary from street to street. Certainly you wouldn’t say that all California neighborhoods are equal in this regard. The area I live in (in Nevada) is upscale and has a violent crime rate more than 50% below the national average.
