This 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.
