That’s usually true. Here in the Appalachian hills, we really don’t have a black population but we still see some of the same problems. Lack of density keeps the rates down.
But the police here still deal with a large amount of “drugs and guns” problems. It’s either meth or oxy. People here do a lot of both.
The Great Smokies, just a bit southeast of where David Crockett was born. I’ll make it yet.
The difference is we don’t have a gang culture.
