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.
“White Center” is slowly coming back to me. I did used to hear the name. Up in the U-District we were shielded from most of that stuff. I occasionally rode the bike down to Seward park but no further.
The U-Dist is where I used to hang out esp. the Ram - great place.
They told me all the bad things that would happen if I voted for Romney and danged if they weren’t right too!
6 months of winter and 6 months of road construction .... :)
“No, MLK Drive in Shreveport not making the list is wrong.”
I had forgotten about Chris Rock. I agree with him. Avoid all MLK streets, drives, lanes, boulevards and highways! LOL
Hope you are not picking on Livonia, a profoundly safe city, but did get a pretty good chuckle!
Do you still proctor FAA exams? Ever log landings in Richland, Pasco, or Kennewick (Vista Field closing soon)?
Nah, the word Trayvonia got stuck in my head. Maybe next time I will suggest Trayvonazoo or Trayvasack or Trayviac.. :p
Places like South Central were once a majority black. But South Central LA went predominantly working class Hispanic many years ago.
And the reason why crime has substantially been dropping for years now.
Not anymore. I’m down here in Australia (see profile page). I’ve landed at Pangborn in Wenatchee and in Coeur D’Alene. I’ve hit pretty much all the airports in the Puget Sound area and the east side of Seattle like Auburn and Spanawy and Pierce-Thurston. I flew out of Harvey quite a lot (Snohomish).
Motah City pride!
I was hoping to take some local glider instruction on my one trip to Aus (Queensland), but didn’t get to that.
Philly’s number one demographic is Black. I’d say Philly and Memphis are done for good.
Where in QLD were you looking?
File this data under “no s*** Sherlock”. Where is Capt Obvious when we need him?
” I’d say Philly and Memphis are done for good.”

Along with many other once great cities. How about Chicago?
Look at how many are murdered every day in Chicago.
The lake front may be the only thing saving the city.
If the city was landlocked, it would be much worse.
One of my most exciting landings was at Meigs field at Chicago’s lakefront. I see that it was closed in the 90s.
Run and tell that, O Congressional Black Caucasians! (to borrow a term from El Rushbo)
BALTIMORE???
“BALTIMORE???”

What about Baltimore? I have been there only one time, back in the 80s.
I have been in some really really bad areas of Atlanta in my past (East Lake Meadows, Red Oak, Hollywood Courts, Bowen Homes, Perry Homes, Techwood, the Bluff, Cabbagetown, Boat Rock, Herndon Homes, Capitol Homes, Dixie Hills, etc.), but the only one I where I was really in fear was Bankhead Courts.
