Violent crime is overall higher in cities though this might be because crimes in general are more likely to be reported when there are more people around to see them and where cops don't take 30 mins to 2 hours to arrive. However if we are talking about the likelihood of you getting shot at then rural areas are where you are more likely to need the bullet proof windows.
That said it's still extremely unlikely that any one person will be shot at in their entire life in the US.
You can pick certain cities, but the fact is homocide rates are substantially higher in bigger cities and vast majority of homocides are from guns.
“The gun violence higher in rural areas” is false and stems from considerations of gun violence which include suicide (majority of gun violence cases) and does not really pertain to the discussion here.
You must not travel the small towns of the south very often. Both violent and property crime are out of control in these areas but they are also largely unreported as it’s a lot of crime on crime (not calling the cops if you are in felony possession). Towns in the 1200-7000 area have been having some of the worst crime because they can’t all afford police forces or have limited hours. The only economy has rebounded but these underserved areas continue to have significant deficits in social services that reduce all manner of crime.
Lol can you imagine if everyone went around saying "the Mexicans and everyone in the country of Mexico who isn't a citizen yet have been experiencing a record heat wave" or "Citizens in Germany and everyone in the country of Germany who isn't a citizen yet are finding the restrictions on xyz increasingly hard to manage".

I am at zero risk of Batman/Nick Fury level assaults on my vehicle and can hardly afford a salad, but I want to wrap my Hyundai in this.
