Gary & Camden are minuscule compared to the massive blight in Detroit. Like another poster said: A place like Camden is about the size of a ghetto Detroit neighborhood (of multiple neighborhoods).

From Philadelphia folks, I've heard Camden NJ. I'm sure it's neck-at-neck with East Saint Louis IL.

lol not even close to comparable.
Detroit:
Population: 713,777 (18th largest in the US)
143 square miles
Core city of a major metropolitan area (which has multiple suburbs larger than the other 2)
greater downtown area (too much to mention)
major sports, large events, casinos ect.

Gary:
Pop: 80,294
57 square miles

Camden:
Pop: 77,344
10 square miles

I guess if you had to compare.
Detroit
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Camden, because it is actually somewhat relevant to the metro area
.
Gary. I don't know any F500 companies located there or how many people work there.

Detroit has more good and bad neighborhoods then the other 2 because, well, look at the size of the city compared to the other 2, it's almost laughable. Look other people said, compare it to Flint or Highland Park or something.
