What’s the crime rate in Idaho? Bet it’s low...

I went to the US Department of Justice page where you can download zipped spreadsheets of state crime statistics

Bureau of Justice Statistics Spreadsheets - Crime & Justice Electronic Data Abstracts

....but when I unzipped the files, they are in a format unknown to Excel, it's a "WK1" file suffix, and I"m still playing around with it trying to get it to load.  I'm assuming that I have to change the filename to be recognized by Excel, but I'm not having any luck so far.

ANYHOW, my "good guess" for an answer to your question would be  "heck yes!"

I'll keep playing around with it and let you know if I can get it to load   :-)

That's a Lotus 1-2-3 format file.
