How did you come to that conclusion? Did you look at any published statistics or just go with your gut feeling based on stereotypes? I suspect it’s the latter, because property crime in the city outnumbers violent crime by nearly an entire order of magnitude. This isn’t even considering how a large number of property crimes go unreported since there is a near-zero chance of the police doing anything about it. Here’s an example: https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/sites/default/files/2024-03/SFPDCrimeReport_January2024_20240311.pdf https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/sites/default/files/2024-...

Across the board urban and suburban populations have much higher (2-10x) more violent crime (depends on category). That said, many argue the robbery reporting rate is far lower rurally. Things like a broken mailbox is not at all reported. https://www.ncjrs.gov/ovc_archives/ncvrw/2017/images/en_artwork/Fact_Sheets/2017NCVRW_UrbanRural_508.pdf https://www.ncjrs.gov/ovc_archives/ncvrw/2017/images/en_artw... https://ovc.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh226/files/ncvrw2018/info_flyers/fact_sheets/2018NCVRW_UrbanRural_508_QC.pdf https://ovc.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh226/files/ncvrw2018/...
