If you want to address a problem, the first step should be understanding the problem and sorting out the facts from hearsay.
It's still interesting but you ignored what I pointed out:
The studies that show those statistics ignore population density.

So yes: let's sort out facts from study statistics that lack important pieces of data.

Or as I like to joke the magnitude of falsehoods: lies...dang lies...statistics...datasheets
A datasheet in the hands of person without comprehensive knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Statistics are just as bad - cause all you need to do is accept the conclusion and ignore the critical thinking.
