Being a mail carrier is a major dangerous job than it looks. You have to deal with extreme weather conditions. You have to deal with DOGS, which can and do bite mail carriers. And you also have to deliver to places you normally wouldn't even consider living in. This includes very dangerous neighborhoods.
Just How Dangerous Is Your Job, Anyway? : Workplaces: Forget the Postal Service.
"Just how dangerous is it to be a postal worker when compared to other jobs? At the U.S. Department of Labor, Guy Toscano sifted through some statistics this week and reported this: Postal work is one of the safest occupations in the job pool. Postal workers are not even a blip on the Department of Labor’s scale of 1993 occupational fatalities, no matter how the statistics are compiled--by job-related accident or homicide."

I lived in Milwaukee in the 70’s and even back then there were really bad ghettos that I wouldn’t walk through in the daytime. Most big cities have these issues. It’s nothing new but it’s sad.
Could we said then that old article of the LA Times didn't aged well?
It could if you could find more recent data. This is the latest I can find. Feel free to deconstruct the LA Times article with more recent information, supported by links of course.
Postal Worker is not in the top 30 dangerous occupations for 2022. Here are some, see list for all.

My father was born and raised in Milwaukee. He remembers the 1967 Milwaukee riots.His neighborhood was somewhat sketchy, even in the 1960s. It's become worse since then. In 1968, the Fair Housing Act was passed. Alot of Black middle class people left the neighborhood for other places. I wouldn't live where my father used to live.
It isn't just big cities having these problems. Smaller cities like Birmingham, Montgomery, Baton Rouge, Peoria, etc.

This is what you run into when you lump everything into big categories.
Within the US postal service, there will be guys that deliver mail in very bad neighborhoods and then hundreds that work in facilities or other safe areas. It's like comparing "animal milkers"...and sure...some milk venemous snakes and others milk cows....but yeah, lets just lump those all together lol.
