Excerpt:

"The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of 27-year-old Democratic-staffer Seth Rich (shot multiple times, and not robbed, at 420am near his home in Washington D.C., where no homicides have been reported within 1500 feet) have stirred Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to offer a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction. But it is Assange's comments during a Dutch TV interview that are most disturbing as he hinted that Rich - who was in charge of DNC voter expansion data - was the email-leaker and his death was a politically-motivated assassination."

What does this mean?

Sounds like they were saying that his home was not in a high crime area as observed and recorded statistically by the police.

That is odd statement right... 1500 feet basically is down the block.

I agree it's odd, and statistics are not absolute anyway. If a plane crash happens tomorrow, the fact that it's been so long since the last one, or that it likely did not happen in the same place before, doesn't really tell us anything.

Also, the absence of recorded events is not the same as having them. Yeah, avoid high crime areas that DO have frequent crimes reported within a certain radius of your destination, but assuming that everything is OK due to a lack of data is not nearly as predictive.
