“You are FAR more likely to encounter crime in urban areas.”
Except crime is almost always in Latino and black areas.
If you stick with mostly white north Chicago you will be mostly fine, for example.
Please name some neighborhoods. The ones I have traveled in recent years- my daughter and her husband live in a Northwest neighborhood-not a suburb- and my son in law’s family lives around the North Shore, and I can tell you, there are people of every ethnicity in those areas.
AND, I might add, while crime is there, it’s not NEARLY as bad as South and West of downtown.
And lastly, I have been a patient at Loyola Medical Center in Maywood, not the safest area, but a helluva lot better than Austin and Garfield Park.

Yes I know. I had a girlfriend who lived in Gurney years ago so I visited the area frequently.
