Where do you live?


State Farm commercial Never
A PERFECT LIFE MOMENT

I'm reading a story on Crime & Consequences about crime reporting and this lines appears:

On average, 69% live in suburban areas, 19% live in rural areas, and 12% live in urban areas.

I'm surprised, I thought most of the people lived in cities, but I guess suburban sprawl is where we want to be.

Back to the story, this business of crime reporting seems a little fishy. They're quoting all these numbers that purport to show the percentage of crimes being reported, but how do you know how many crimes are not being reported? I suspect statistical sleight-of-hand.
