It has been said that poverty creates crime. However, whites in rural, trailer park communities have nowhere near the level of violence and crime that blacks and Hispanics in the inner city do. Problems of the inner city are children born out of wedlock and raised in single parent households with absent fathers. Kids raised without fathers are likely to grow up poor, dropout of school, join gangs or sell drugs, go to prison, or become teenage parents. Is there less crime and violence because of a lower percentage of white children born out of wedlock in poor communities? Is it because rural communities are located in the middle of nowhere and sort of isolated?

you need to back this up with some valid resources. Just saying something does not make it so.

Trailer parks are more diverse than people think. Many Hispanics and blacks in them.
But to answer your question, population density is much higher in those urban neighborhoods than the rural trailer parks.

I hope you know that the drug trade functions in large inner cities and not in poor rural areas. Crime has always been prevalent in inner cities, even when whites were the majority. One example is the mafia, whose organized crime network functions in big cities and still do.
If you knew anything worth posting, inner cities have always been violent even when blacks and Hispanics had a much smaller presence in urban areas. Single parenthood has always been a factor in poor urban areas, even when whites were the majority. So it has nothing to do with blacks.
There is crime and plenty of drug addiction in rural and suburban areas, we just don't hear about it as much as in big cities.
All of these problems just have an effect on the other. When there is no adequate employment it's much harder to make a living, making it harder to build a family, save money and others.
