I think high trust/low trust looks at it the wrong way around - the reality is more like low mistrust/high mistrust.

Where I live, people barricade their doors like there are barbarian hordes at the gate. Bars on the windows, clamps and immobilisers on the car. They’re terrified a gypsy/indian/african will fall out of the sky and rob them blind - and they’d have to fall out of the sky as literally everyone here is white and born within the surrounding ten km radius. They all trust their neighbours completely, however.

I also trust my neighbours completely, so I leave my keys in the truck, and I haven’t locked the house in five years. The only time there’s been unauthorised entry is when people have left cherries for me on the driver’s seat.
