Two highly relevant pieces of information that would effect my decision:

  1. How high is the crime rate in the area?

  2. Are you armed (and if so, to what extent)?

EDIT: Downvoters, would the fact that you are in Mission Viejo, California or Baltimore, Maryland not effect your preferred strategy or is there something else about this comment that makes it of low value?

Didn't downvote, but "stranded" makes me think 'middle of the desert' and doesn't at all make me think 'bad neighborhood', so maybe they thought your comment was non-topical.

I'm also curious.
