It's context that makes no sense. How about this one?:

"In my neighborhood last year there were also no vehicle fatalities."

Is that in any way helpful?



No. We have no knowledge of your neighborhood, whereas US readers have a good-enough picture of the US.

It's also useless because a neighborhood is too small a unit of measurement to be useful, period. Unlike cities, states, or the entire country, the vast majority of neighborhoods have zero vehicle fatalities.


I'm glad we agree


It doesn't seem that way. If you're being snide... well, I guess that's that. Sad that you need to be so critical of one mildly helpful data point.
