You could compare the violent crime rare where you currently live to where you want to live. I would say that there are many other concerns to weigh than simply one dimension, be it this or any other. The overall cultural values are likely a better thing to look at and would be indicated by multiple topics.

Don't forget to view the trend lines. Don't go any place where they're headed up.

Checks data... that means... No to America.

"Don't go any place where they're headed up."

So, most place since the pandemic?

Crime rates fluctuates and have local variances. Again, a single point of comparison is not a good indicator of whether to move to some place or not. Even within the US you can move from a high crime area to a low crime area. There have been some articles on here recently about celebrities doing that.
