Almost all the homicides in the U.S. are gang related murders in inner cities. This is a perfect example of having to go beyond just the numbers. If you’re not in a gang, your “safety” is of absolutely no concern. That doesn’t sell fear porn though.

It's the same here. Irrelevant to the point.
You are stating that you are more likely to be killed in Utah or Idaho; gigantic land masses with very spread out populations. There are tiny sections within specific cities that are of any concern at all. No one goes there other than gang members living there. Your framing of the issue is inappropriate.
