I wasn't disputing your numbers yet since they are closer to what I have been able to find so far.

Most statistics can be found or verified online. Numbers that are tossed out with no sourcing, including mine, should be taken with a grain of salt. I am in the process now of finding confirmation and will provide the sourcing when I do. So far I am using the FBI crime statistics and US Census bureau population statistics - I hope those will be considered reliable.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
