Is it worth considering the demographics of Boston and Shreveport? Or is that out of bounds?

Hey, Tim, no, not out of bounds. I understand your point, I'm comparing apples and oranges to a possibly unreasonable extrent. OTOH, ChatGPT informs us the average net worth of Boston black households is $8,000 compared to $247,500 for white households.
My point is to show how extreme Richard's POV is.
Total population figures are both genders combined.
Another angle.....females incarcerated in Idaho, 1,470, total population, 2 million. Wallethub safety ranking #19
Males incarcerated in Idaho, 9200, total population, 2 million.
Arkansas population 3,000,000 State and local combined imprisoned 23,850, including 1,650 females, safety ranking #46
females incarcerated in Massachusetts, 700, total population, 7 million. Wallethub states safety ranking #2
Males incarcerated in Massachusetts, 5300, total population, 7 million.
Only Floridas, Arkansas and Georgia actively execute :
Illinois population 12,700,000 Total incarcerated, 30,000 including federal prisoners State Wallethub safety ranking #38
New York population 20,200,000 Total incarcerated, 41,000 does not include federal prisoners safety ranking #20
