I’m still unclear, which stats and how are you making a conclusion?

Thank you! So this was for the specific area of OKC rather than Oklahoma? I was a bit confused from other comments. I suspect by area size it’s also more dangerous than NYC. I’d need to look at heat maps on my own to see spread. Thanks for the info!

No I suppose I’m not being clear. I just had a concept of crime concentration. Oklahoma City might be more spaced out than New York, inadvertently driving down crime, but your stats would suggest the opposite.

Apparently OKC is 2.1 times larger than New York. I was curious to see if NYC/OKC had a way to show concentrations of murder and other violent crime as well. Thanks for talking through it, sorry to aggravate.

I genuinely appreciated this exchange! Thanks for the illumination!

One of my best friends is an actuary so it’s amusing to me that you approached it in a similar, good faith basis. Thanks for entertaining the convo and sharing so much food for thought*!

Crime per density is such an stupid metric , you cannot have crime in empty areas
