Has it occurred to anyone that your chances of being a victim in Baltimore are less because the population is larger???

That is exactly the point.

Given the population of Salisbury, we are more likely to become a victim than a person in Baltimore.

There is MORE crime per capita in Salisbury than in Baltimore

more matching streetlights and beautification.
