You don't need 20 - 30 people to come at you. You only need a few clever people. What you have to worry about is traps and being drawn out of your home. Or what if you go out to pick some food from your garden and you're attacked? 2 or 3 guys coming in the back while 2 or 3 more in the front. Someone kidnaps your wife or kids. They burn you out of your house. They sniper your ass from a location you don't even see. Lots of variables.
That said, it's still better to be prepared than not. And the fear of group violence is no reason not to be prepared. I'd rather be prepared and eat well and take my chances with gangs than go hungry and have to fight for my next meal, eventually having to deal with gangs anyway.

It would make sense for groups of 10 to 20 people to live together in order to mutually defend each other. There is safety in numbers. I would think being in a city would be much more dangerous that in a urban area. As far as being a target if you stockpile weapons, well having weapons is a better option than being defenseless.
