I live a city and neither do I, at least during the day. Only when I go to sleep I try to remember to check it to make sure it's locked.

And cities are often measured to be safer than suburbs:

There's no slam dunk case for either.

I have a Yale lock that locks automatically after 5 minutes. This is important because we have unhoused neighbors who will occasional door check our home and you don’t want to wake up in the morning to find someone sleeping in your living room.
