Look at any safe cities list and El Paso indeed is usually on it.

Only if you artificially limit the list by excluding cities below 200,000 -- as this list does.

If you don't play statistical shenanigans like this, El Paso falls below 73% of cities:

I do think of cities as being bigger than 200 K all the same.

I know those studies come out in all shapes and forms.
