I was wondering if there were any inner city majority white ghettos left in the US. ie. high crime, poverty, dense.

I know of Armistead Gardens in Baltimore, but there has to be more than that right?

Armistead Gardens might be rough around the edges, but hardly in the ballpark of Baltimore’s roughest neighborhoods. Brooklyn & Curtis Bay, though more integrated racially these days, are historically white neighborhoods in Baltimore that definitely struggle with violent crime, addiction, pollution and poverty. Armistead Gardens is like a slice of West Virginia smack in the middle of Baltimore City. The neighborhood is governed via a co-op, which is not common in Baltimore, likely playing a role in the neighborhood remaining stable compared to a lot of other working class city neighborhoods.

Some smaller northern post industrial cities like Duluth, MN; Fall River, MA, Charleston, WV have significant chunks that would qualify

Fall River is only because Portuguese isn’t classified as Hispanic. There is a large Azores Islands population. New Bedford is the same though it has more recently seen significant Hispanic immigration. It used to be 70% Portuguese.

It's like 40% now. I'm portuguese with Fall River routes kind of, it's a white slum. Won't be for. Long

I think Slavic Village in Cleveland fits the bill. It’s now about half black, but most residents are low-income. Empty storefronts and vacant lots abound.

agreed. Pigtown and Wilkens/St. Agnes areas of Baltimore share similar issues/makeup with Curtis Bay and Brooklyn.

Umm...What part? None of southie is a slum. And hasnt been for 20 years.

There are few white people in the projects but I wouldn't call them slums and they're definitely in the minority in South Boston projects.

Please, street views us this "slum" and I will find the corresponding incomes and racial demography of said area. There are no white slums in Boston at all, Fall River is a much better answer.

There’s still a lot of multigenerational dysfunction in Southie. You won’t notice it streetviewing but if you volunteer or do any kinds of social work in the area you would know it’s there and it’s highly concentrated. A lot of them are moving to Weymouth though.
