The worst area is the east side by the ship channel, Deer Park, Channelview, Cloverleaf. That's the part of Houston that flooded during Hurricane Harvey where the "Cajun Navy" had to come with their high-wheeled trucks and flat-bottomed boats to rescue the mostly poor African-American residents.

I didn’t say it was a great area, I said it wasn’t an awful area. You might also be thinking of the Third Ward, which is just north of this area.
Again, do you live in Houston?
It’s a beyond bad area, as others have also said.
And, no, I’m not thinking of any of the (numbered) wards. They’re bad, as well, but, at least closer to downtown/Montrose/Heights.
