I guess in terms of crime rate Newburgh, but in terms of worst neighborhoods I guess Buffalo.
I agree with you.Buffalo is a st**ky area with too many immigrants.
And it's good that vuluntear show up there and help those in need by providing food and shelters.

Actually, not to be picky, but Buffalo was considerably better when it was almost ALL immigrants back in the day, now it's only 8.4% foreign born.
The City of Newburgh is indescribable -- you really have to see it to believe it. It is a toxic wasteland; quintessential urban blight. The streets resemble something of a movie or a video game: abandoned store fronts, gangsters, hookers, and, sadly, poverty-stricken children. About a year ago I was [quickly] driving through when I noticed a decrepit building with a poster-board sign that read: "Drugs downstairs." There is simply no way that portions of Buffalo or Rochester are worse than this place -- this city, in its entirety, is completely demoralized, a living hell. It is quite sad; as the location, 55 miles due north of NYC and right along the Hudson River is economically ideal. The sentiment that Newburgh should take cues from its sister city, Beacon, is flawed. Beacon never was close to being at Newburgh's disastrously low level. The fact that Beacon is east-of-Hudson (on the same side as NYC, think MNRR) has helped its cause. Nonetheless, it would take an extreme effort to point Newburgh in the direction of prosperity. I am curious to see what it looks like in another ten years, because I cannot imagine it being in worse shape than it is today.
->If anyone is ever downstate in the Lower Hudson Valley, Newburgh is worth a quick look, just keep your eyes to yourself and don't slow down.
Not one single good neighborhood in Camden, NJ. Or Chester, PA. Or Atlantic City, NJ. And those are just in my neck of the woods. Philly, on the other hand, is very much neighborhood by neighborhood.
Camden has a couple of decent areas, like Fairview, Stockton, and Cooper Lanning. I think the southern/western side of Atlantic City is alright as well.

I drive all over the Northeast in my hobby of taking photos of old movie theatres for CinemaTour.com. I've been to the Bridgeport, CT, the Bronx, Providence, etc. but the only place I was actually too afraid to stop the car and get out and take a photo of a theatre was at one location in Newburgh!

A little off topic but you have some awesome pics of the theaters in Binghamton!
No such thing as a dangerous city. Just dangerous neighborhoods.
Then, I guess, the question would be, "Which city in New York has the greatest percentage of area consisting of neighbourhoods with the greatest incidence of violent crimes?".
