This is good information for someone like me who was raised in a semi-affluent suburban area. I rely on my spouse, who grew up more on the "wrong side of the tracks" in a city, to alert me to danger when we are in a city. Thankfully, he has - and I'm learning from it. But we live in a rural area and the things I notice and the tools I rely upon are a bit different than I need in an urban setting.
Crime can happen anywhere but the % are greater in the liberal/communist cities and states that have illegally banned the citizen from carrying a firearm (the criminal still has his) so always carry a 40sw or larger and refuse to go to, or spend money in a communist state and city.
Here is a really good rule of thumb. If there are a lot of people on the street. Walking, large groups, homeless, pushing carts, groups standing on corners etc. Your in a bad area.
If it looks decent but the sidewalks are all jacked up and overgrown with weeds in the cracks. Your in a potentially bad area.
If there arent a lot of people out in the streets and there are no sidewalks. Look for tarps on roofs. That also is a bad area. Unless a bad storm just went through.
This is why I use the aerial view and streetview to check out the area around a hotel before booking it if it's one I've not been to before. I also still see that I'm one of the few who regularly scans their surroundings and looks back over their shoulder when walking around anywhere outdoors.
Observe orient decide act. It’s a thinking process used by fighter pilots, firefighters, soldiers, and others working in high intensity fast moving and changing situations. Do some reading about it. You likely use a form of it everyday. Using it more formally makes for better outcomes.
There are several routes that I can take to where I work. I never take the same route twice in a row.
I use the state's DOT app to check for any disruptions in the route I want to take, especially when it is winter time and dark.
I never go anywhere unarmed.
I always sit with my back to the wall and with my carry side to the outside.
I always verify the entrances/exits whenever I enter any unknown establishment.
I am always subtly scanning everywhere. I make a note of anything unusual or anything that tweaks my senses.
I am always aware of my surroundings, especially when driving. Constant scanning of all mirrors as well. Scanning ahead is an absolute necessity because there are deer and elk everywhere.
These days, the only time I feel comfortable is in my home. It is not something that I enjoy.

I'm staying in a homeless shelter in western canada... ...and the chattiest guy there is an old anon who's always telling people about Q. he hadn't heard of this website though. he pointed me to one called restoredrepublic dot co
After working in Folsom Prison for 20 years, I have a battle-hardened sense of hyper vigilance. Since I retired, I have been working hard to tone it down. Seems I was a little premature on that one.

I so the same for RV parks when traveling.
Keep the OODA loop looping!

Admittedly, often a better place to be.
