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. See our FAQ on how we rank the most dangerous neighborhoods

Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94 percent figure means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it's 22 times that of whites. I'd like for the president, the civil rights establishment, white liberals and the news media, who spent massive resources protesting the George Zimmerman trial's verdict, to tell the nation whether they believe that the major murder problem blacks face is murder by whites. There are no such protests against the thousands of black murders.

There's an organization called NeighborhoodScout. Using 2011 population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2011 crime statistics from the FBI and information from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies in the country, it came up with a report titled "Top 25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in America." (http://tinyurl.com/cdqrev4) They include neighborhoods in Detroit, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis and other major cities. What's common to all 25 neighborhoods is that their makeup is described as "Black" or "Mostly Black." The high crime rates have several outcomes that are not in the best interests of the overwhelmingly law-abiding people in these neighborhoods. There can't be much economic development. Property has a lower value, but worst of all, people can't live with the kind of personal security that most Americans enjoy.

Disgustingly, black politicians, civil rights leaders, liberals and the president are talking nonsense about "having a conversation about race." That's beyond useless. Tell me how a conversation with white people is going to stop black predators from preying on blacks. How is such a conversation going to eliminate the 75 percent illegitimacy rate? What will such a conversation do about the breakdown of the black family (though "breakdown" is not the correct word, as the family doesn't form in the first place)? Only black people can solve our problems.

It’s because they have a low black population. EXTREMELY low.

Benton Harbor and Benton Township MI didn’t make it ?

Nothing like coming over a hill before you start down a road leading to it and pondering .... “ I wonder if the national guard has pulled out yet ?”

I used to live by Oakland Park Blvd between the Turnpike and University in the 1970s. My boundaries were basically University to the west, 441 to the east, Sunrise Blvd to the south, and Commercial/Baily rd to the north. Occasional forays into Pompano, Hollywood, and the beach.

Pine Island wasn't built yet, and the roads west stopped after University. There was no Sawgrass, just 2-lane Hwy 27. I used to take that the Hollywood Sportatorium, which is also no longer there.

I was thinking the same thing.

I was driving on MLK blvd, Houston on a Friday night a few years ago and got pulled over by a white cop. He pulled me over because I was a white female (he told me that). When I admitted I didn’t know much about the area at the time, b/c I had not lived in Houston long, he told me to get out of there and if I didn’t, he would follow me and find a reason to pull me over and take me to jail, lol. He said you’ll be safer there than here. I got his point and got out. I really appreciated his blunt non pc honesty also.

“I was thinking the same thing.”

That white policeman did you a favor. There are parts of Houston that I would not dare travel in broad daylight with a police escort! MLK Blvd. is one of them! ;-)

The Turnpike can help for getting to west Broward, but be sure to be gassed up, bladdered out and have exact change or the fines will not make it worth it at all.

Oh, or have the Sun Pass(which, forgive me for not wanting the government with a monthly hand in my checking account or pay $10 a month for the privilege of paying tolls up front.

Year, there are no black folks in NYC, Philadelphia, New Jersey, or Boston. Hartford, Worcester, New Haven and Providence are mostly Swedish too.

[DrewsMum]

Can you read?

Do you know the difference between a LOW population and NONE?

Seriously.

[muir_redwoods]

I can read, can you think? Do you seriously mean to suggest that the major cities of the northeast have low populations of blacks? Really? Have you ever been in NYC? How about Philadelphia, Boston, Newark, Camden, Hartford, New Haven or Trenton?

Your suggestion would be comical if it didn’t indicate some sort a sever mental malfunction or educational deficit.
