  I’m curious and not sure I’m understanding you right, is per capita crime significantly higher there?

    the mortality rate is significantly higher

    Rural counties tend to have more crime per capita than urban centers in the US, yes. A few cities show up despite the trend like St Louis and DC, but those are pretty extreme outliers.

  That'll show you a slightly lower rate of death-by-murder, but a significant increase in overall death-in-an-untimely-fashion. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-07/is-new-york-city-more-dangerous-than-rural-america https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-07/is-new...

    LOL you are using a website selling home security products as a source?

      You realize they are citing data from the FBI?

        Are they? From your link: " According to data from the FBI," and that's a hyperlink to: https://www.safehome.org/resources/crime-statistics-by-state/#crime-in-large-cities-populations-over-500000 https://www.safehome.org/resources/crime-statistics-by-state... ... which is not the FBI. I'm sure there's a source table summary of FBI data at the bottom of the rabbit hole; your position would benefit from you finding that, reading it, and directly linking to it. The "fun thing" about raw FBI crime data summaries is they have warts and issues .. many acknowledged on the tables themselves.

Yeah, it is busy with police... >Mayor Eric Adams attributed the decline in subway crime to a number of factors, including the massive surge of 1,200 additional NYPD officers in the subway system, as well as an additional 300 officers patrolling overnight trains
