True, and data will change yearly. Its very possible areas of Philly would have taken page one in the 80's.you will get a wide variety of list depending on how they are judging it.
Often times smaller towns will get it from per capita or whatnot.
I do know this. Where I grew up it's much safer today than it was in the 70's.
Our school had concertina wire, NOT Barbed wire, on its fence when I went there, now it's a open campus. Our school was banned from playing Bassett due to gang warfare, and a gang BLEW UP a house to kill a guy.
For the most part I felt safe because I grew up with and was friends with the gang members.
Only time I had any issue was one pint size gang banger was telling me Townsman were out to get me, because I broke another guys ribs. I was scared until I talked to another who said the gang had no issue with me because I was just protecting my property and to situation was not a gang issue.
The next time pint size gangster gave me shit I challenge him there and when he backed down I told him its over.
Don't take this a Billy bad ass, but it's not hard to break a rib or two swinging a fence pole.
