It’s the only way to make sound like it’s safer to live in the country.

OP's document lists 11 cities for comparison and says nothing about living in the country.

Everybody knows it's safer to live in the country, but that's not the argument he's making. He's saying it's also safer to live in any other city. I don't know if it's a great methodology though, going per sq mile.

Dunno, traffic accident probability are usually per mile driven, and rural people drive more to get anywhere.

Some counties have a single ambulance, and are 1-2 hours from a hospital.

Where I live, there's only volunteer fire departments. That can't be great either.

People just love hating on SF and/or cities in general, and will dig up any statistic that supports their viewpoint.
