Camden is not a town most people would not want to live/work/shop or even associate themselves with.
Usually in the top 3 towns in the US for stolen cars.
This says it all...
Camden, NJ, violent crime, on a scale from 1 (low crime) to 10, is 9. Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The US average is 3.
Camden, NJ, property crime, on a scale from 1 (low) to 10, is 8. Property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson.

The State is pumping hundreds of millions of $$$ in Camden, it went from the most dangerous city in the country to the top 5, so there has been some improvement. Now there's been private development of the waterfront with some luxury condos that are desirable. The new State aquarium in Camden is a tourist attraction. Camden has a new minor league baseball team with stadium, The Riversharks, right next to Rutgers-Camden.
The bottom line it is not a desirable place but it has gotten somewhat better outside of the inner city. Some people have no issues buying into the new developments.
Old saying, "if you put a tux on a pig, it's still a pig".
Camden didn't go from the most dangerous city in America to the top 5. Maybe to the top 5 "dangerous" cities and that's not something to brag about.
