I think a more comparable poll would be living in Camden vs. East Orange or Irvington even. I'd put them on par with each other on the ghetto scale.
East Orange, as of late, is doing much much better than those cities including Paterson.

I don't know Paterson or north Jersey at all. But the Fairview section of Camden is not as bad as the rest, it is a working family area.

I'd live across the street from the Rutgers campus. Cooper St. always looks clean. There's a police presence. That area and the Waterfront are rather safe.

I voted for Camden mainly because I am more familiar with it than Paterson.

In the area by the Aquarium I know of a nice apartment building and it is right by the Rutgers-Camden campus.

I created an account after many years on city data just to reply to this. I was born in Camden. Raised in Camden up until 5 when my parents split up. Unfortunately one of my parents still lived in Camden so I had to go back to Camden twice a month. I hated every second I spent there. Everything was terrible. I experienced so much trauma from my time in Camden it still affects me to this day. My mother was car jacked. The house I stayed in was broken in to. We had a peeping tom turn into a fist fight into a stabbing. Dealers on our front steps. Gun shots, Robberies, Domestic incidents, LOOSE DOGS, Fire.

DO NOT MOVE TO CAMDEN.

There is only 3 good things in Camden, Donkeys place, Berts steaks, and the aquarium.
