Yeah, ATL has the best of both worlds. You have the affluent Blacks, and you have the dangerous neighborhoods.
Yeah, Atlanta isn't actually bad as the media makes it out to be. You just have to be actually there to realize it. As long as you stay out of the bad areas than you shouldn't have any problems. Popular areas including Midtown, Buckhead, Virginia-Highland, Little 5 Points, etc. are safe for the most part.

Buffalo, NY? Seriously? Camden's not even on there?
It is for cities with 200,000 or more people. I like how they explained that older, more dense cities are at a disadvantage in comparison in terms of rates.
That Atl list is bs. Atlanta only had 87 murders last year and
93 the previous year.
And with a population of 450K-500K that turns out to a murder rate of 20/1000 people, which is considered very high by most. If you prorated that rate with a larger city like Chicago it'd be 568 homicides (assuming 2.75M pop.), or for New York City it'd be 1,757 (assuming 8.5M pop.).
Those are pretty deplorable figures, even though Chicago is pretty much gunning for that figure (pardon the pun).
Murder isn't the main factor for most dangerous. Otherwise new Orleans would be the most dangerous.
Well murder is something that you can accurately compare between cities because other crime statistics are recorded differently depending on the methodology of each city
