I believe the stats are for cities with populations over 75K. They are definitely per capita stats. I live within 5 miles of both Lake Forest and Mission Viejo, CA. It is almost unbearably safe down here. As smooth alluded to above, it is definitely a wealth thing, besides me of course
. I see Lamborghinis or Ferraris driving around about every weekend. It's funny, a lot of people think Lake Forest is the "ghettoest" city in South Orange County.
