I don't doubt that East St. Louis has the highest crime rate, but a lot of these other hoods are overrated!
All the people saying the South Bronx ain't **** and ain't scary no more gotta check this out (zoom in on neighborhoods):
New York City crime map 2 months
As you can see the South Bronx actually has plenty of shootings! (Remember to zoom in and let it work its magic so you can see ALL the shootings...)
I suspect something is wrong here because the map only shows one murder... I know it only show Los Angeles city crime so it doesn't count Compton and so on, but by looking at south LA on the map you could at least get the feel of how it would be like, but as I mentioned before I'm almost 100 % sure there is got to be something wrong with the murders here!
Pretty much the Chicago neighborhoods described in this thread as bad are bad, but doesn't seem to top the South Bronx or crimes in south LA...
Spotcrime.com didn't have any maps of East St. Louis, but I checked out St. Louis (Missouri) and there was a lot of crime there!
I am kinda suspicious of this site though because of the very few crimes...
My conclusion is that the South Bronx isn't that great as the times want it to look and people on this forum want it to look...
ok lets get this str8
1. i'm kinda suspicious of that website. I was looking at brownsville(the most dangerous nabe in new york) and there were no shootings. not only that. they didnt add the kid who got shot at a dice game not too long ago in chicago. i dont know about that website
2. of course the s.bronx is gonna have more shootings. It's super dense and its the hood so thats just a given.
3. nyc may considered safe on paper..BUT that doesnt mean there arent any bad neighborhoods
actually they forgot to add the guy shot in the a$$ at the drake & sly polaroid concert this weekend at the house of blues (look it up) and there were 11 shootings on saturday on the west side only. at least only 2 people died but 2 too many
not to mention gang shootings never get reported so that may be why there arent that many in chi and la
look, who cares how a hood looks or which is most crime ridden. yea, south bx is bad but it ain't that bad, n.e. detroit looks like nuked-out warzone, same with east cleveland, gary and east st.louis. every city has its bad areas and that's just a fact, it don't matter which is worst, bottom line is they are all BAD.

Actually there is a map for Brooklyn alone, but I didn't include it because I was only focusing on the South Bronx...

Actually:
Brownsville (11212) population density: 57672 people per square mile
South Bronx (10454) population density: 34134 people per square mile
South Bronx (10451) population density: 39461 people per square mile
South Bronx (10455) population density: 51584 people per square mile
South Bronx (10474) population density: 7657 people per square mile
South Bronx (10459) population density: 47524 people per square mile
South Bronx (10456) population density: 72349 people per square mile
South Bronx (10452) Population density: 75087 people per square mile
These are some South Bronx zip codes. I picked out these cause they were the ones with the most shootings on the map... The further north of these zips you go, the denser it gets...
I know "its the hood" that's why I posted this so others could still see!

I swear ive been trying to tell ppl that for a while , nyc is considered the safest, but when you go on spotcrimes and see the actual crimes being committed , nyc is crime ridden , i saw philly in the same site, and in philly did not have 1 reported shooting , stats really dont proove anything , you yourself have to visit places to know the truth
I'm just going by personal experience and not numbers. I live in Chicago and there are some parts of englewood that are pretty rough(particularly around 80th and Halsted for my chicago ppl). I've driven through the South Bronx years ago and that was even worse. I could not believe the sheer amount of people who were standing outside and how loud they were. I have to admit it was pretty intimidating.
I don't know if I've ever been to liberty city in particular...but the entire northside of Miami is a dump.
It is mind boggling that 24 people think compton is the most dangerous place in the country for me its the safest on the list considering I used to live there.
