Go give Chicago a try if you think Rutland is that bad.

You're seriously trying to compare a city of 2.7 million people with one that has 16,000?

Honestly it doesn't seem that far off. I just used the FBI's Uniform crime reporting program to see there were 74 reported violent crimes in Rutland city in 2021.

That's a violent crime rate of 467 per 100,000 people. Chicago had a violand crime rate of 639.7 per 100,000 people in 2021. Sure, it's a difference but they're much closer than I would have expected.

You can either take this to mean that Rutland is dangerous or Chicago isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I believe in the latter.

Yup. If you think it's that bad here then go give a Chicago a try. You pick up what I'm putting down?
