Here's some interesting information about East St. Louis and pollution: Environmental Justice Case Study: East St Louis

and like some other cities it had a history of violence: East St. Louis Riot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and more on the city: East St. Louis, Illinois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camden has 80,000 people, similar to Compton and Youngstown, OH... All three of which have UNREAL homicide numbers.

Interesting to note East St. Louis has 31,000 people and 19 murders last year.

I have no doubt in my mind that areas of major cities have more murders in such a confined space as well. There are parts of Cleveland, OH with a population of around 30,000 (if you outlined where clusters of homicides occur) that have 20-30 murders a year. I'm sure the same can be said about Detroit, Chicago, or Balitmore, etc.

I dont think Brownsville, Brooklyn is the worst neighborhood in all of America but it is definately one of the worst.

Wall Street, definitely the worst for crime.

If by "worst" you mean crime, City-Data has a table for that: https://www.city-data.com/top2/c404.html . Brownsville TX has an overall crime index of 372 compared with the national average of 320.9 East St. Louis seems to take the cake with an index of 2392.5. For large cities, St. Louis MO has an index of 1355.3. Brownsville doesn't make the list. For murder only ESL still tops the list: https://www.city-data.com/top2/c416.html .
