yeah I saw that and it surprised me. I'm assuming this is just part of that neighborhood? The photos I've seen of OTR are beautiful!

The stats they used to come up with this are bogus.

Over-the-Rhine Most Dangerous Neighborhood in U.S. - :: Cincinnati news story :: LOCAL 12 WKRC-TV in Cincinnati

Is the area referred to actually in Over the Rhine or is it part of the West End?

Having been in a great majority of the neighborhoods in that study, most of the areas cited are not the "whole neighborhood" but are small subdivisions of a larger neighborhood.

The "most dangerous" study is talking about the Northwestern quarter of OTR as well as part of the West End.

It's Cincinnati's own local media that's been screaming about "OTR" being the most dangerous neighborhood, despite the study's boundaries being quite different.

The segment of OTR in the study is the part that's mostly vacant, but is also the infamous prostitution area. So when you divide the number of crimes by the lack of residents ... you get a really high ratio.

it is what it is. if a crime is committed, a record is kept. all this talk of the stats being 'bogus' or skewed is nonsense.

No, it really is bogus. It's just common sense man, nothing scientific ... just think about it for a second.

"On a scale from 1 to 10" ... What?! lol ...


Water quality?
Demographics?
The number of doctors?
Marital statuses?

What in the hell does this have to do with an intersection? What in God's name is going on in this post? lol

I find this rather confusing. First, there is no zipcode "45210" which is what the study seems to be based on. There was a "45210" many years ago, but not now. It has to have been at least 5 years, maybe 10 years since the zipcode was removed. Don't think its just cosmetic. The USPS does not deliver to 45210. If you use that as your zipcode in OTR, you don't get any mail. And, I think I'm right in the middle of OTR and my zipcode is 45202. What is 45214 anyway? Is that South Fairmont or something? And, the West End is not OTR. It may use the 45202 zipcode, but so does Mt. Adams. I can't imagine how one could collect reliable date from reports using a zipcode that doesn't exist. To me, that says the data is bogus.
