Neighborhood ScoutEven 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

What do these cities have in common that do not exist in the ones not named? May be a factor.
Probably you could say that these neighborhoods all have higher concentrations of deficit in the John Wayne factor.
No firearms?
Mostly poor blacks
suck
L.A. didn’t make the list.
For once we’re not in the ‘all bad’ category.
WOW! You’re telling me Oklahoma City is worst than LA? That’s scary. Who would have thought. And yes, #1, I’m surprised LA didn’t make it on the list or NYC.
Go figure.
