4 Chicago Neighborhoods Make List


Chicago has the dubious distinction of holding four places on a list of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in the nation.
Using crime data compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, NeighborhoodScout.com made a list of areas with the highest predicted rates of violent crime in the United States.
The nation's worst neighborhood, according to the study, is in Cincinnati.

Here is the list:
Cincinnati, Ohio (Central Pky./Liberty St.)
Chicago (State St./Garfield Blvd.)
Miami, Fla. (7th Ave./North River Dr.)
Jacksonville, Fla. (Beaver St./Broad St.)
Baltimore (North Ave./Belair Rd.)
Kansas City, Mo. (Bales Ave./30th St.)
Memphis, Tenn. (Warford St./Mount Olive Rd.)
Kansas City, Mo. (Forest Ave./41st St.)
Dallas, Texas (Route 352/Scyene Rd.)
Richmond, Va. (Church Hill)
Memphis, Tenn. (Bellevue Blvd./Lamar Ave.)
Dallas, Texas (2nd Ave./Hatcher St.)
Springfield, Ill. (Cook St./11th St.)
St. Louis (14th St./Dr. Martin Luther King Dr.)
Little Rock, Ark. (Roosevelt Rd./Bond St.)
Philadelphia (Broad St./Dauphin St.)
Tampa, Fla. (Amelia Ave./Tampa St.)
New York City (St. Nicholas Ave./125th St.)
Chicago (66th St./Yale Ave.)
Baltimore (Orleans St./Front St.)
Cleveland (Cedar Ave./55th St.)
Orlando, Fla. (East-West Expy/Orange Blossom Trl.)
Detroit (Mount Elliott St./Palmer Ave.)
Chicago (Wallace St./58th St.)
Chicago (Winchester, Ave./60th St.)

Damn, Baltimore's on there twice.

I am shocked to see Cincinnati leading the list. I lived there for several years and the city felt very safe to me. The neighboorhood, Central Parkway and Liberty is in the heart of a rather small poverty stricken ethnic neighborhood north of the downtown area. These statistics are no doubt predicated upon black on black crime driven by drug addiction.

If you don’t have any real business along North River or South River Drive’s (along the Miami River) in Miami, you should not be in that/those neighborhoods. There are some nice places along the river,.but the wrong turn will take you places you might not want to be. Best left for locals.

I took a wrong turn and drove that neighborhood once, actually, not long after the Liberty City riots in '80. Big mistake that could have been a lot worse than dents and scratches in the paint from the rocks that hit the car.

I also lived in Chicago for quite a while and remember driving from my office over to North Michigan Ave going through the Cabrini Green area. Now that was a scary place. The doors were locked and windows drawn up at all times. Never at night.

We don’t have one of the nicest welcoming committees. Glad you made it out.

Americans must be gleaming with pride.

Some of my US pals were discussing this list the other day. They all thought it was pretty shite. There are some glaring omissions according to them, like Compton LA for example.

Compton, Bed-Stuy, da Bronx. I remember going to visit friends in Watts -- black friends in the car had to hide me and then bundled me up to get to the house.

These neighborhoods are mostly black, followed by Hispanic neighborhoods.

It's up to the blacks and hispanics in these community make their neighborhood a better and safer place.
