RE: Crime Math - Your Odds Of Being Murdered in Chicago
Yes but of course what you are not considering is that crime rate within the city is probably far from evenly distributed.
The crime rate for the average middle class citizen is probably far lower.
Which means that if you come from an average income, educated background your likelihood of being murdered is well below your results.
But of course if you come from a poorer social background, the likelihood is much higher...
I thought about talking about this but decided against it as it is a touchy subject to many people.
The crime rate in some neighbourhoods would be double, triple or quadruple the city average rate and the lifetime stats would look "war zone-ish."
Thx for pointing it out though.
