High crime, but most people not affected

I have lived in Dallas since 2000. Yes, crime is very high, but mostly it is "petty" crime, such as property crimes. Most violent crime is Mexican on Mexican, to be honest, and doesn't affect most people not living in those neighborhoods (due to the high illegal alien population and people carrying around cash, I think a LOT of crime goes unreported). At the same time, I personally feel much safer in Dallas than I did in Chicago, for instance. I have lived here for 7 years and never even had the feeling of being unsafe.
