Most of the people I come into contact with on a daily basis do not seem smart enough to be threats.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
What I'm really saying is those survival of the fittest people might be on to something. In that, if one of these people takes me out it is because I underestimated them and not because of how smart they were.
Being smart usually makes you risk-averse, so simple things like physical assault or even shootings are probably going to come from less intelligent folk. Heat-of-the-moment types. But the revenge as a dish best served cold types are probably going to be smarter, and scarier for it.
I really hate how American media likes to keep villains past their expiration date.
Themed lunch boxes are always cooler than brown paper bags.
They may be cooler but in the small town I grew up in we knew who the fancy punks were, the ones who thought they were better then us with their GI joe Lunch Boxes while the rest of us had the brown bags.
Hey Hollywood take that crap somewhere else. We are a working class town!

Interesting, because I honestly never thought that's what "street smart" meant, in any practical sense. My impression was always that "street smart" meant a person who could navigate dangerous areas/people and remain safe or out of any kind of trouble, as opposed to someone who would be preyed on or otherwise run into some kind of trouble on the streets quickly.

I think "street smarts" is used for people who might not be highly educated, but are very capable navigating the everyday problems of life. From avoiding danger to knowing how to get bargains. It is usually juxtaposed with "ivory tower" knowledge.

It may have been what you meant, but it was not what you said, no.
