Well at least the 808 is still a nice place to live at. Especially since we mostly likely wont ever make the list..

I'm so surprised no neighborhoods in Brooklyn aren't up here... I've seen such a rise in violent crimes its sad to think that all these other places could possibly be worst

SHEESH,I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA MAKE IT 4SURE SINCE WE GET TALKED ABOUT SO MUCH..PROUD TO BE FROM CAMDEN,NJ..

Anonymous said...

I would just like to know what data samples they used for this report because I'm from the very block on number 18 and I have current stats that say otherwise. Now maybe from some years ago before the buildings came down then maybe, but the neighborhood is different from when I grew up there

Anonymous said...

Can't say I'm surprised in Atlanta being on there but I didn't think we'd have so many listed. Dang!

Victoria D said...

Well no surprise that the city I was born in (Memphis) and the city I've lived in for over 15 years (Atlanta) are all over this list. We gotta do better people.

They have a neighborhood in chicago that is no longer there. They tore down those projects down n now have up 375,000 to 500,000 dollars town homes there. So make sure u have the rite info up.

seminolefan said...

very interesting info to know, it especially comes in handy if you looking to relocate and want to know what areas of a state is safe to raise a family in

Anonymous said...

Very surprised Detroit isn't on here...but it's a relief, at least the focus can be on other cities

Anonymous said...

wow i guess, East Oakland aint no joke and we not on the list?? i wonder where they getting the stats?

Anonymous said...

How is New York not on the list. Yonkers, The bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem, and none of them showed up. But somewhere in Orlando did, the list doesn't seem too accurate to me. I know the comedic aspect is that people will complain that they are not on the list but damn how the hell does Orlando get on the list but no where in New York.

To the person who said the hood don't exist..Homie Lake St. runs east to west and if you on the West side you def don't see the 500k cribs. You must be lookin on the East side by the lakefront. Trust me shit ain't no joke on Lake st..

Anonymous said...

The hood in chi that don't exist anymore is federal st. They tore down those projects and it is now 500$ town homes. Lake street still there but nothing but businesses on lake street because the L trains run down lake.

Anonymous said...

And by the way the. West side does have 500,000$ homes. When the last time u been on the. Weat side. All around the United center on Washington & down Madison, Jackson. You must've just got out the joint this morning!
