Large and small neighborhoods/cities shouldn’t be compared![]()
This train of thought is nonsensical, simply for the fact that no other city is as large as New York---->the next closest city is LA which is "only" half the size of NY (and LA itself is almost twice as large as the next largest city)...
Because NY has running on 9 million residents, neighborhoods in NY tend to be larger than in most places; the median neighborhood in NY has over 25,000 people, and 50k and 100k neighborhoods aren't uncommon...
Anything based on size would mean NY shouldn't be compared to anywhere since no city can match the size of NY all the way thru...
But common sense, you can feel when you're in NY that it isn't as dangerous as most other places. And if you break the population into per capita data it treats every city equally---->per 100,000 residents, this is the rate of robbery, the rate of car theft, etc...
Y'all gotta take it up with the FBI, they are the entity that made the per capita thing commonplace lmao. And it only makes sense that way, again minus New York, the same could be said of LA for any other city in the nation, LA is too big to compare if that's the road we're going, then it couldn't be compared to anywhere so what would any incident report about LA mean?
