This hypothetical hipster’s alternative to living in downtown Portland isn’t to live in some meth-overrun rural county in eastern Oregon. I’m thinking more like Beaverton.

Beaverton is a far worse place to live than a city. Car culture. (I lived in Portland for seven years, my sister has been in Beaverton for 20, so I'm well-acquainted with it.)

As someone who lives in Beaverton I'd bet that the risk of my daily car commute heavily outweighs the risk of murder downtown. I tried running home a few times and it's remarkable how inconsistent sidewalks are.

I don't actually have numbers though.
