In NYC, Upper East Side, SOHO, West Village, Chelsea, Tribeca- these neighborhoods will drain your bank account fast!
Okay, when I first started reading your post I saw SOHO and I though H.E. double hockey stick's no, then I continued to read and see what your saying!!! LOL
Not meaning to attack you, but that is completely false. The worst areas by far in NY state are all in or right around NYC. Right now and historically, the Bronx alone has had areas that are much worse than any area in NY state, they make Buffalos worst areas look nice. As far as crime, there are still really dangerous areas in NYC, specifically areas in the South Bronx, South Queens and Queensbridge, North and East Brooklyn, and Uptown Manhattan(although that area has improved a lot). Dont let NYCs murder rate fool you, there are neighborhoods in the city with many many times that rate, much higher than any other place in NY state. Just to correct you.
+1, Correctamundo. I just moved out of one of those areas.
For Maryland it's very very very easy Baltimore, but it's being said the Prince George county will surpass Baltimore in crime in the near future!!!
Hell no slim..pg is on a upswing and crime is down....we're about wealth not about foolishness.....come to the outer parts of the Beltway and see what im talking bout.....I wish Bmore folks would actually travel outside of bmore half of yall dont even know PG is the wealthiest african american majority county in the nation....or yall dont want to know
How did Newark, and Irvington not make the list. Take a drive down the Garden State Parkway sometime most digusting cities ever
Disgusting?
From the Parkway, EO and Irvington don't look that bad visually (from the parkway anyway). The city has nice architecture, they were once middle class cities until crack took over.
Now the turnpike can be disgusting. Elizabeth-Carteret-Linden, egh.

Most of Detroit's Eastside & Westside is very dangerous, but some streets would be McNichols & Wyoming, Schafer, Dexter, Mack ave, Livernois, Davidson, Linwood, Joy Road, Fenkell, Grand River, Schoolcraft, Outer Drive, etc...

Granted southeast I believe is only 100k ppl give or take a few thousand
High crime rates, associated with drug trade, reached a peak in the 1990s. In 2005, 62 of Washington, D.C.'s 195 homicides occurred in the 7th District of the Metropolitan Police Department, which also includes the neighborhoods of Barry Farm, Naylor Gardens, and Washington Highlands. This figure is down from the 7th District's peak of 133 homicides in 1993.[5]
We all know about Camden, NJ, Detroit, Little Rock & New Orleans. Those in NYC, California, Florida may also have troubles pinpointing a hotspot. But how about other places?
Which part of your town or state will you go out of your way to avoid?
I'd say that Kansas City and St. Louis are probably a tie.
