sure, just saying the rest of the state isn't devoid of extreme violence.
so 12 million in IL with ~10 million of that in Chicago metro and ~0.5 million in the metro east leaves ~1.5 million spread throughout the rest of the state. the low-violence areas must be in the middle.
according to the article i linked, ESTL had 458 murders from 2000 to 2018 so ~24/year on average.
