They said in the article that Juarez was not a declared war zone despite being second (arguably first) on the list of most dangerous places in the world. Now THAT is scary. Most of the places listed are engulfed in civil war or other warfare with other countries.
I can't believe st Louis was listed as third place ahead of Somalia! I think that must be skewed because east st Louis I thought was a separate city from the rest of st Louis. Traditionally in the 21st century I believe east Louis and opa locka florida are considered to be the most dangerous places in America.
Nvm, To follow up on my other post, just checked the source... it's an entertainment blog... There is a 2012 list too (no St. Louis and a lot of changes...), Capetown is now the most dangerous city in the world... apparently...
Excluding Morningside Heights, Harlem contains 5 precincts with a total population of 296,919. 31 murders last year, giving a murder rate of 10.4.
One precinct in East Harlem with 47,000 people had a murder rate of 19.0/100k while the safest one (Hamilton Heights) had 61,000 people and murder rate of 3.3/100k.
The 75th precinct named in the Daily News article with 28 shootings in 5 months has 183,328 people. Two of the South Bronx ones named have about half the population but almost as many shootings.
The bad parts of NYC are still no joke, and no walk in the park from what people on this thread have shown me.
Brownsville or Brown Sub is definitely dangerous as hell. I can also co-sign the folks talking about NYC of old. I moved from Brooklyn in 92 and my family has zero regrets about it. People were dying all the time. Even though the population is high, you (and many others) still was around the frequent deaths and robberies.
It's funny, if you say you're from a dangerous neighborhood called Brownsville, most folks would assume you're talking about Brooklyn. But Brownsville in Miami(Brown Subs as most residents call it) is just as dangerous.

Don't disagree at all. The bad parts make up a smaller fraction of the city than some American cities, but that's more of a statement on how far some ghettos have sunk than that the bad parts of NYC are decent.

Opa Locka is a serious place. But I honestly think Brownsville Miami(Yes, Miami has it's own neighborhood named Brownsville that's just as dangerous as the one in Brooklyn) is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods, if not the most dangerous in the state of Florida, right next to Liberty City:
It's actually not a neighborhood. It's a seperate city.
A friend of my friend got shot there — he got mugged and ran away from the mugger because he was very poor didn't want to lose what he had. So the mugger shot him.
