Is it rational to believe the likelihood of violent physical harm directed at you if you use a transit station in a sketchy neighborhood as opposed to one in a non-sketchy one?

Does it "feel right" to use the sketchy one, despite everything you know about sketchiness of neighborhoods and crime in general?

Is sketchiness determined by an instantaneous feeling or a well-deliberated rational thought?
