If it's so scary than why was it not ranked in the yearly listing of the top 25 most dangerous cities in the country ?

Cause those studies are based on bull crap and feed the "murder obsessed" Americans such as yourself.
Step out of the box man! You live in a damn bubble based on stupid statistics that don't mean anything in the real life experience.

So from your own personal life experience, you came to the conclusion that Wyoming is more a dangerous place to live than in any predominantly Black inner city ghetto, is this what you are saying ? You would feel safer walking all alone at night in the Magnolia projects in New Orleans for example than you would in Ten Sleep, Wyoming ?

I would be cautious in both areas. I'd be concerned to walk through Ten Sleep with my black girlfriend and because I don't know anyone there. I'd be concerned to walk through the Magnolia Project in New Orleans cause I don't know anyone there as well. My fear of these places have nothing to do with the murder rates. Random people rarely get murdered especially in Brooklyn. I'm not involved with illegal business so i don't have much to worry about.
I currently live in a prominantly Black inner city neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. The neighborhood happens to be a middle- class neighborhood and I feel very safe.

I have learned that I have to be weary anywhere I go. I live in a subdivision out in the exurban areas of metro Atlanta and many times I don't feel safe because it's dark and the danger of being in a relatively rural area is that the seclusion masks any dangers. People have been known to be killed on secluded roads in the sticks.

St. Louis has often been known as the murder capital of the USA.

You have been watching too much "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Psycho", "Wrong Turn", "Friday The 13th", and or "Deliverance". The reality is the murder rate in rural areas is extremely low.
