As a kid, I moved from LA to Red Bluff (pop: 14K). This town had a lot of drugs, crime, shootings, etc. but I remember adults generally thought it was safe simply because it was small and rural
It's the 4th most dangerous city in California
“Looking at violent crime specifically, Red Bluff has a violent crime rate that is 151% higher than the California average and 195% higher than the national average...one of the most dangerous regions in the United States" redbluffdailynews.com/2019/05/31/tak…
It's a very poor town (around 40% of kids live below the poverty line)
Kids would get shot and adults would say at least it's not like it is in big cities but Red Bluff is more dangerous than every city in LA
My HS chemistry teacher said he refused to travel to big cities because it was "too dangerous" but he would have increased his odds of safety if he had left
