Without question, Camden, New Jersey. You can't even call it a legitimate city any more. It's more like a wasteland.

It's the worst I've personally seen also.

So sad that it is directly across the river from Philadelphia.

Worst city - East St. Louis - Blighted hellhole.

Worst area - Rural Southern Mississippi - Boring, backward, poor, desolate, no place to be.

The East Side od Columbus is pretty mild, I used to live off of Livingston Ave.

Im just not scared of anything spoiled Americans have to offers

Your ghettos are amusement parks to much of the worlds population.

You stay bragging on message boards about how your a tuff guy

You're going around saying you ain't afraid to die!!!!

I've been outside of the country to and I seen poverty in 3rd world countries and its nothing like in the U.S. alot worse in a third world country!

I don't need to brag on a message board my life speaks for itself and I got a while to go!!!!

I met plenty of kids talking about " I ain't afraid to die"

But when that bullet hits you and you feel that burn trust me your going to reconsider!!!!

I'd say in terms of crime and poverty for FULL states, CA, FL, TX, and MI, take the cake EASILY. For cities, NO, CAMDEN, Belle Glade FL, Pahokee FL, Parts of Chicago, Detroit, Southeast DC, ALOT of cities in Southern NM, ALOT of cities in Southern AZ, Parts of rural CA, ALOT of areas of South TX. Basically ALL border towns and border states. Oh yeah, and ALOT of areas of the RURAL South.

Their is drugs everywhere in New York, New Jersey, Philly all over the Northeast!!!!

This is nothing new!!!

The northeast is alot more dense with alot more people. You don't have to go far for drugs, In the suburbs their is plenty to.

Texas is spread out.

Texas can't compare to the Northeast in drugs and guns or crime!!!!

Damm right I'm American!!!

First of all if you seen people dieing, shot, stabbed, hurt real bad you wouldn't go around talking like you ain't afraid to die.

Any real man who says this ain't telling the truth. When its time your going to be scared!!! I promise that!!!!

Unless your crazy, and you want to die beacause your life has been hell and you feel like death would be peace. Or the pain of living is to much.

But you ain't crazy!!!!!

Looking at this link, one would be inclined to agree: Brutal New York - 1965/95 - SkyscraperCity
