Even the most dangerous cities in America can have relatively safe neighborhoods, as there is more variation in crime within most cities than between cities. But using exclusive data developed by NeighborhoodScout, and based on FBI data from all 17,000 local law enforcement agencies in America, we here report those specific neighborhoods in America that have the highest predicted rates of violent crime per 1,000 neighborhood residents of all.,
Violent crimes include murder, forcible rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault.
These neighborhoods are the epicenters of violence in America, where social issues are likely to ignite into violence and spread.

I worked in Newark for 9 years..all hours of the day. You never get use to it.....it’s better if you don’t
I’ve been to all of those places. I know who lives there.
Wonder how many of these are sanctuary cities?”
Certainly Houston - home of Sheila Jackson Lee - is one and has is on the list twice - ranked no. 6 and no. 15. The Mayor is a gay Democrat, Chief of Police is a Democrat and has already stated he would support the Federal position and Obama on gun control.
Also has one of the largest Planned Parenthood facilities in the United States located very close to the University of Houston. Took some classes there about twenty years ago at night but even then would never go anywhere by myself. Now I’m not sure I would walk in any of the surrounding areas even accompanied by several people. Very close to MLK Boulevard.
Ah, modern wickedness has left old fashioned crime in the dust. Indy is just behind the times.
Detroit wins 5 to 4 Over Chicago for the Nation’s biggest compilation of $h!tholes!
Listen up! Chicago’s Amish will hold the record for this year once again.
We are not the second city in crime. I’ll put our Amish against your Amish and let it play out. Win win all around.
“There’s nothing in Maryland or Virginia that can hold a candle to Indianapolis, Chicago and Detroit!!!”
Oh yeah? Well I used to work one week out of every six in Memphis and based on my experience, it holds a “candle.” Are you are saying that the Black pussies live in MD and VA?
The guys in the MidAtlantic are church going choir boys who are good to their baby mamas in contrast.
There was a time when they’d gotten 3 mentions in the top 25.
23 of the 100 safest cities are in California, according to the same site:

These are probably not the cities featured in rap songs.
yeah music city has a few rough areas. seems any large metro region does. still it manages to have a per capita murder rate 1/4 of chicago’s.
Competition between the criminal classes is always tight during a recession. I’m surprised there are still some of those guys around.
that’s because the likes of detroit and chicago raised the bar.
Pure unadulterated horse manure.
How can Washington DC not be at the top of the list?
As I understand it, citizens were robbed of over 800 billion dollars there last year. If that isn’t dangerous, I don’t know what is!
Looks like Chicago and Detroit both got four places.
Nashville has wider right of way in the neighborhoods. Just a little bit of openness goes a long way toward driving street crime into automobiles
We took our boys on a 'let's drive through Chi-town' trip several years back. They wanted to get down on the floor ~ the place is intimidating.
Still, in between all the really nasty looking places there are some great neighborhoods with nice folks in them ~ postal workers even. What you need to drive around safely at night is a van with several white people in the back ~ that's interpreted as COPS
i knew you always had a soft spot for mail men.
surely i must not be the only one who thought, when a kid, that the fellow on the lipton tea packaging was a mail man, and that the tea was supposed to be so good that the mail man would stop in to share a cup before continuing on his way...
DC is a quaint suburb of the Fairfax County Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area ~ Fairfax crime statistics help even things out an awful lot~
Yeah, I was just guessing.
Pathetic.
Two areas in Houston are supposedly among the lowest income in the U.S., populated by single and/or divorced mothers, more than half of the children living below the poverty line. Employment, when present, is generally in the service or fast food industry. But one is moving from Black toward Spanish dominance, the other has always been predominantly Black.
I would suspect that other inner city high crime areas share many of these common factors.
