Hmmm. Perhaps you can be redeemed. There are a some really amazing pockets on the southside. Those blocks are nice, but the blocks between 70th and 67th, Jeffery to about 3-5 blocks west are gorgeous. I used to ride my bike there and dream about being rich.

I believe that's the Jackson Park Highlands.

The areas with a gang-related nickname are some of the worst.

Here are a few notorious ones

Terror Town: 74th-79th, Yates Blvd to Colfax

Moe Town: 51st-57th, Ashland to Union

Crown Town: 51st-58th, Western Ave. to Pulaski

Then there is the Wild Hundreds, which Roseland community is the ring leader.

Sticking to the facts, something I put together a couple months ago which included the latest twelve months of public violent crimes (muder, aggravated assault, robbery, etc not among people in the same household) per 10K residents for all Chicago community areas. Standard caveats apply: community area safety can vary widely from block to block, those that draw more people into the area than simply residents may have overstated rates compared to a bedroom community, you can be perfectly safe in most situations if you're not trying to get into trouble and you mind your own business, etc.

the only time people go to diffrent neighborhoods is if they know somebody you just dont go wandering about thinking to yourself hmmm its pretty bad over here i would take into account safety of certain neighborhoods but my main issue is that certain neighborhoods have a food desert and you need a car to go to a supermarket most gangbangers can care less about you if you mind your business and not act like you anything valuable then you will be fine but there is no purpose for you to go wandering about there is nothing
