Yeah the stats aren't easy to capture specific areas. Problem with that is Georgia's population density is so much lower that a "nice area" is out of the way. NYC, and any other densely populated city be it NYC or London, the "nice areas" aren't only prohibitively expensive, they're still not that far away from the not so nice areas.

My initial point being, arming half the population as the original commenter suggested, is really really stupid and incredibly dangerous.
