You mean "statistically" safe....?

If you live in a city with a high rate of violent muggings, you would
probably feel safer if you got mugged once, since you are now a
statistic, and your chances of getting mugged again are
"statistically" lower.

Of course, you could always take up mugging yourself, and turn other
people into statistical numbers.....
