One can find (or make) any statistic to support any given narrative.

Non statistic example?

Driving along one notes that every barn has arrows in it and arrow is in the bullseye. Narrative? Very good marksmen live there.

Then they come upon a guy that is painting bullseyes around arrows already in the barn!!!
yes, murder rate is more important than murder count. Do you want to live in a neighborhood with 1 person is killed every year (that has a population of 10) or do you want to live in a neighborhood with 100 people killed every year that has a population of 10 million? You are much more likely to not murdered in the city with 10 million.
