Murder rates in the US are pretty much a global average Polaris. If you moved from some place with low rates, it would seem more violent to you on that count (for example). If you moved from some place where it was higher it would seem more peaceful. We're smack dab in the middle, there's about as many places on either end of the range. Average americans are average, you know?
So...just as an example..if you moved from Podunk, to DC....you would have a similar experience even moving within the states. You might have just come from Podunk, Earth...to the Big City, is all. Large numbers (like large pops) drive towards an average.
DC aint the south, btw.....DC is pretty much universally hated by "the south" - it's one of our strongest traditions.
