Are you concerned because you plan on spending time in these states, or just passing through?
And, are you concerned because you might trip and break a toe while in one of these states, or that you might get shot?
It seems you are getting different answers for different concerns
I personally wouldn't worry about the crime factor unless I were to be putting myself in odd places doing odd things. In all my years going into the Tiajuana area, I never had a problem and I was a party guy in my 20's. I always stayed low key and didn't go walking down dimly lit ally's several blocks from the main area. Also have had drunken exclusions through Mexicali, Tecate, San Filpe, Ensenada, and all points in between. Admittedly the drug export crime issues have increased since then, but they are doinfpg their thing and I'm guessing you won't be looking to make drug deals in the back of off beat bars.
If you are just passing through, what are the odds you'd bust your toe while en route?
If you do bust a toe, just go get treated and pay for it out of pocket
I guess my point is, you just need to ask yourself, how likely is it you will have an issue
