Chester is definitely bad, but is it worse than Camden or Newark

Newark is getting a little better but Camden is the worst city in the US. I remember a few years ago, outer lying towns were considering erecting a giant fence "Escape from NY" style around the city.

East Detroit is pretty close to the top IMHO.

There was talk of putting up a wall between Grosse Pointe Farms and East Detroit.
