Crime data seems off

SF being less safe than Medellin is completely wrong.

    We base our crime data on Numbeo, and SF ranks lower than Medellin there. Planning to introduce our own nomad safety score that is based on more relevant parameters rather than Numbeo exact score

    But in this specific instance it won’t make much of a difference since the core data is very similar in both cities.

    I’m not familiar with these cities personally but can you look at

    https://www.numbeo.com/crime/in/San-Francisco and

    https://www.numbeo.com/crime/in/Medellin

    And let me know which parts are wrong there so perhaps I could look for alternative data sources? There aren’t many afaik but will try to make it better.
