study with the most rodent-infested cities:

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/travel/news/map-shows-the-most-rat-infested-locations-in-the-world/ss-AA1nzXMV#image=2

in the top 10: deshnoke, london, new york, paris, singapore, hamelin, guangzhou, johannesburg, atlanta, marseille - some of the largest and most desirable cities to live in globally.

i'm genuinely glad this isn't your experience and you've never had to encounter rodents, but pretending they're some eccentric improbability that only affects the slovenly who live in hovels perpetuates a pretty harmful stereotype and contributes to the shame (and unwillingness to act quickly and call professional help) of people who end up with vermin.
