"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
The articles I found making claims like yours (https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem) use data at the State level. They inadequately filter at the county level, don't show their data, etc., to support their misleading statements.
Fact left out: 27 of the 30 cities with the highest murder rates in 2022 had Democratic mayors.
For specificity, we need the city block areas where the bulk of violent crime occurs. Logically most of these dangerous blocks will fall into the above cities.
I knew this was bullshit from the headline. There are a few blocks that are dangerous in urban areas. There is nowhere that I fear for my safety in rural areas.
After you read https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/the-blue-city-murder-problem, let us know what sources support your statement.
