Also I wanted to see the order of the rankings of these areas from worst to best....as to get an idea as to which part is the worse of the worse. Since noone's tried..disregarding my lack of knowledge...i'll give it a go. From Worst to Best

CD 1
CD 3
CD 5
CD 4
CD 2
CD 6
CD 7

that about right?

You can't judge, they are all about the same. Only CD 7 has a few sizeable areas left that are so-so left around Mosholo Pkwy. Part of the Bedford Park and Norwood areas. You also forgot CD 9, nasty areas.

the best would be cd7...cuz bainbridge is a decent area.

Whoa not Bainbridge Ave. Moshulo Pkwy, as far northwest as you can get. Even there you will find a few nasty blocks these days. Also the proximity to worse off areas and the current slow but steady decline makes this area a hard sale for me.

i meant the bainbridge area in general, not the av. thats what everyone called it back then. nowadays, some call it "norwood", i guess lol. i honestly never heard of the term norwood til i read it on this board.

same with clinton (quite funny), for hells kitchen.

So what's the point, supermario? Higher minority=more danger? As a minority yourself, what is the impetus of posting this?

I posted this a few weeks ago. I was just interested in seeing the percentage of minorities in some of these neighborhoods. While I knew that the percentage was high, I did not expect upwards of 95%.

I dont think higher minority equal more danger. The situation that the minorities are in conduce crime. Not really there fault though.

Actually in this city we are "majority" so to be accurate we should use the term "majority" or "people of color" not minority. To ease the confusion for those in the rest of the country, "people of color" would be more accurate instead of "minority", especially considering that people of color are the majority in the world.
