Does this inforgraphic seem right?

Where I live, haven't locked the door in years. And I'm not telling you where I live.

Middle Atlantic (NY) 75% locked doors
Midwest (SD, ND) 70% locked doors

I would advise critical thinking next time

I'm not sure how this study would change anyone's habits or what the purpose of it is. Someone probably was charged a lot of money to have it done. That said, I can never understand why someone would not lock their doors, just in case. It takes 2 seconds. I'm sure that anyone who does not lock their doors, and gets robbed for the first time thinks, "this has never happened before. Why would someone do that?". It's because criminals will be criminals and unless you live in a gated community, there is always the opportunity for someone to take advantage of your mistakes. There is always a first time for everything, if is physically possible. Murphy's Law.

Do you have information I don’t? The infograph agrees with your anecdotal evidence. What are you upset about here?

A couple of points about this survey:

Conducted in 2017 (pre-COVID, pre-summer of protests and riots, pre-1/6/21)

1000 Americans surveyed. I doubt that’s a large enough population to accurately categorize by the map lines they used.

I expect this survey to look mostly the same +5% across the board if you polled the same people today.

However, I would also expect a need to draw finer lines around regions if there were an actual large enough sample size to accurately represent the population this study purports to analyze.

They also need to add, "is there a woman in the household," as a data point.
