Nope. Danger is the probability of a negative event. And a number by itself is not a measure of probability, which is always a percentage between 0 and 100. One cannot obtain a percentage of anything with one number by itself.
My third graders understand this concept, David. With effort, you can, too.
As usual, you are wrong. Murders are not the probability of a negative event - they are the negatve event that has happened.

Can't read? I said DANGER is the probability of a negative event. Low probability: low danger. High probability: high danger.
Beyond you, I guess.
Let me try to explain, as I would to a slow child.
Number of murders in an area (city, county, state) / total population of the area = a decimal amount between 0 and 1. That number can be expressed as a percentage, aka a probability.
The probability of a person who lives in Chicago being murdered is the number of murders divided by the total population.
Did that sink in? No? Oh, well, I tried.
I've really been showing you up the last couple of days. Your panties must be SOOOOO twisted.

According to - https://usafacts.org/articles/which-cities-have-the-highest-murder-rates/ -- Cook County, Illinois, home to Chicago and its metropolitan area, had 719 homicides in 2024 — the most in the nation. The second highest was Los Angeles County, California, whose 88 cities, including Los Angeles, had 569 homicides.
If you'd completely read your "source," you would have seen that Chicago ranks 13th in the nation for homicides and Los Angeles 38th. But instead, you read the first paragraph, whacked off furiously, and then rushed over here to copy and paste that first paragraph, complete with bold letters, OOOOOOH!
You're making such a fucking fool of yourself lately. You and Trump are in serious mental decline.

The article I posted stated that Chicago had the most homicides in the NATION - the MOST in America.
