Crime data certainly indicates otherwise. As the link in the OP of this thread shows, there are only a few places in the city as bad as they were then, let alone worse. Logan Square isn't one of them.

Right. This map shows changes in homicide rates from the 1990s to 2000s. Green is decline, red is increase. The darker the bigger decline/increase.

As I look at the dark green chunk of Rogers Park up top, I realize that I need to man up because I still get heebie jeebies up there.

Meh, I still feel safest in Beverly and Mt. Greenwood, despite that they're red. I understand a low base can produce huge swings on a percentage basis.

Really other than the area around Juneway, I don't feel that about Rogers Park at all. I guess it had the largest drop of any Community Area in the City at 80% in that time period.

You should take a look at the portion near Loyola's Lakeshore Campus sometime. The university is doing their best to beautify and gentrify the parts immediately around them.

This map helps understand if an area is above or below average. Green being below. I actually find it hard to believe that this is right for Beverly or Mt. Greenwood now that I look at it. Beverly has had all of 3 homicides in the last 7 years, Mt. Greenwood has 0 in that time. Maybe I have to re read what this means....

Mount Greenwood probably has more Cops and City Workers living there than any of Chicago's Community Areas. It's par with Edison Park, Norwood Park and Edgebrook in terms of safety.

It is probably because that doesn't appear to be only Beverly and Mt. Greenwood in that particular map. I believe those are police districts shown on these maps. Some districts are pretty large and won't tell the entire story about specific neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods will be pulled down by their neighbors while others will be pulled up.

This. The police district containing Beverly and Mt. Greenwood appears to also contain Washington Heights, Morgan Park, and bits of Roseland and Auburn Gresham.
