I'm not worried about being murdered as much as I am being robbed blind of everything that isn't bolted down. The opioid addiction crisis is real.

Even at that, the chances of being robbed (national averages, at least) are pretty low - through 2020 they were the lowest since the 1970s. I realize the pandemic caused some spikes, but I can't find numbers for those and if those spikes brought us anywhere near the peaks in ~1980 or ~1990.
