What is going on everyone? Let's talk about the worst places to live in cleveland ohio that's
right we are seeing what else sucks in cleveland besides the browns and the indians new name
cleveland is a city on lake erie that has seen better times in recent years it's seen a little
progress but throughout the 90s and early 2000s this place stanked to high heaven if you would
have told your friends and family you were moving to cleveland back then they would have suggested
that you get your affairs in order and maybe have one of those living wakes for you cleveland is in
ohio and that should be your first clue that it has some problems ohio is a rust belt state and
rust is normally a word that isn't associated with success cleveland isn't all bad it has the
rock and roll hall of fame and the christmas story house where ralphie had his fill of soap
in this episode of worst neighborhoods we look at what cleveland has to offer in the suckage
department two things to keep in mind about these lists crime isn't the only thing that
makes a place bad schools and other things come into that equation we also use the actual name of
the neighborhood so people can find it on google maps if they're looking for it locals might call
it something different but we use the actual name alright let's take a look number 10 south broadway
south broadway sounds like a really nice place you'd take your spouse out on a date maybe see
a show or something like that that's not what goes on here they have couple things that really
bring down a neighborhood train tracks and an industrial area they also have the cuyahoga
river on the neighborhood's border but most of that land is taken up by the train yard
and some really shady looking industrial areas that people probably don't do as much work there
as they use the area to hide evidence if you want to be the envy of all your friends you could move
here and get a house for under 100 000 you may not want to after i give you some of the stats
but this neighborhood has i mean most of their homes here and there's probably like 30 for sale
are all under 100 000 actually i see two that are over a hundred thousand and it's like one
hundred and fifty thousand so you could move here and buy a home that in a lot of cases are decent
and you just gotta deal with some bad stats like a really high crime rate the cost of living in south
broadway is actually 17 percent lower than the national average and housing is 74 lower than the
national average their median home value is 47 000 i'm not even joking i think it's one of the lowest
i've ever seen but here's where it gets bad their crime rate is 208 percent higher than the national
average the income per capita in this neighborhood is under 14 000 a year that's 53 percent lower
than the national average their quality of life score here is 59 now if you've never watched these
videos before anything over 80 is extremely good 79 to let's say 69 is decent and then 69 to 59
is it getting pretty bad when you get to like 58 you should move really you should move no
matter what the cost just move and their schools get a big giant f too not a great place to live
number nine st claire superior sinclair superior has two of the things that help with their suckage
level train tracks and industrial areas it's also on lake erie they don't have any beaches in this
area so don't plan on going there they do have one nice park but most of the waterfront property here
is taken up by highway and industrial stuff some parts of this neighborhood is also known as asia
town and really this is kind of like a artist part of town you'll find like murals and little
art displays all around this neighborhood it's not the best neighborhood it is getting better
but their stats right now suck this area only has a population of about 6 000 residents with
the total crime rate about 215 percent above the national average their violent crime rate though
is 451 percent above the national average this is another place where you could definitely get
a house for under a hundred thousand again the median home price in this neighborhood is about
forty five thousand dollars and rent is around six hundred bucks so yeah you could live here
pretty cheap this is another neighborhood that doesn't really have a bunch of people making
a lot of money i mean like i said it's got a lot of artists here and the word starving artist just
didn't pop out of nowhere that's an earned name st claire superior has a quality of life score of
60. you want to get a house for about 80 to 90 000 you can get a decent one in this neighborhood
if you want to get 50 000 and below and have to do some extra work yeah that's what it's gonna
take it's gonna take some extra work probably have to take some boards off windows and mow the lawn
trim back the trees do some painting and maybe fix the plumbing but you could have a house for
about fifty thousand dollars in sinclair superior number eight union miles park union miles park has
a population of almost ten thousand residents and i'm sure most of them wish they lived someplace
else if they ever did move someplace else and wanted to feel at home you know they got a little
homesick they could just start a dumpster fire and they'd feel right at home union miles park is
southeast of downtown cleveland in between there and maple heights and like all respectable bad
neighborhoods they got some train tracks in some industrial areas i will give this area one thing i
was looking at some of the homes that are for sale here and they're nice 82 000 will get you a four
bedroom it's one bath that sucks but 4 bedroom 82 000 and it is ready to go looks like the kitchen
was redone it's painted it doesn't look like it's in bad shape and there's a handful of these
like that it's just the stats are what's dragging this neighborhood down the total crime rate is
228 above the national average the violent crime rate is 474 above the national average the median
home value is 43 000 and rent goes for about 550 a month if you want to live on the cheap and you're
really not too concerned with crime stats this is a solid option these houses look decent for the
most part but that 474 percent above the national average violent crime rate kind of scares a lot
of people quality of life score here is in union miles park is 58. number seven fairfax seems like
every city in the united states has a fairfax i mean good size city i know los angeles has one new
york has one couple other big cities have fairfax areas or fairfax neighborhood whichever you prefer
the fairfax neighborhood in cleveland is just a little east of downtown surprise surprise they
got train tracks not much industrial area there there's some bordering it but not in the actual
neighborhood this neighborhood actually has some new homes that go for over three hundred thousand
they look nice but they do have a handful here that are going for under a hundred thousand they
got one decent one that's ready to go looks like it's 120 000 probably have to do a little work but
it's five bedroom three baths that's not terrible but if they've got any new construction that means
this neighborhood has the possibility of turning it around soon now is the time that you might want
to buy some property for fifty thousand is hey they got actually fifty thousand dollars it's
run down it needs a lot of work six bedrooms three baths fifty thousand dollars actually
they they reduced the price by a hundred dollars recently it's now forty nine thousand nine hundred
dollars if someone's on the fence on whether they should spend fifty thousand dollars on a house
lowering it 100 do you really think that's gonna entice them to actually take that leap what's sad
about that house the garage is actually in better shape than the houses fairfax has a population of
about four thousand five hundred residents their total crime rate is 241 percent above the national
average their violent crime rate is 496 percent above the national average that is brutal the
median home value here is only 32 000 and rent will run you about 550 bucks that's the median
price i'm sure someone's going to leave in the comment section anytime i mention rent oh it's
like 900 or like 700 i actually had one guy say i was off and he was trying to say that no
rent in this area is 20 more than i was saying it's like dude stop the quality of life score for
fairfax in cleveland is 58. number six woodland hills hey look at that California has woodland
hills too actually the Los Angeles metro area does I guess it's actually kind of on the outside of
the metro area but anyway southern California has Woodland Hills too the woodland hills in Cleveland
is the exact opposite of the woodland hills in southern California you don't want to live in the
one in Cleveland the one in southern California is a really nice neighborhood like swimming pools
plastic surgery and rich people in woodland hills Cleveland you get
overgrown lawns bars on the windows and bus passes the violent crime rate in woodland hills Cleveland
is 498 above the national average their total crime rate's only 242 percent above the national
average good job there the median home price here is only 29 000 yeah realistically though right now
they've got a couple that are for sale for under a hundred thousand uh that looked livable and then
they got one that's like 160 000. this isn't a really big neighborhood they don't have a lot
of houses for sale right now but if you want to move here your best bet is the one for 160
000 4 bedrooms 3 baths and it's made of brick the quality of life score here is 58.
number five stockyards that already sounds bad stockyards isn't the best neighborhood right now
but they do have some construction going on so in the future they might be doing a little bit better
but right now they got all the things that make a neighborhood suck vacant lots industrial area
and train tracks they've got a bunch of homes for sale here that are all under like ninety thousand
dollars and they look livable like you might have to do some work now granted i'm not going
in and inspecting the plumbing and electrical and stuff like that but just from the outside and then
you kind of poke around zillow these places look like they're almost livable right now just maybe a
little work you could have a house for under 90 000 and have to suffer through cleveland brown
seasons and horrible winters oh then of course there's the possibility of being assaulted like
almost every single day their violent crime right here is 501 percent above the national average
their total crime rate is 243 percent above the national average they got just a little over 7
000 people living here your stuff's not even safe here it's like over two hundred percent
above the national averages property crime the quality of life score in stockyards is 59.
number four central central just sounds like a neighborhood that the word central should
be followed up by lockup or something like that now the weird thing about central is they have
some really nice parts that look decent lawns are maintained houses are taken care of the downside
is they got some industrial commercial areas that a lot of the crime happens there and then
of course they have the ever-present housing projects along with some train tracks the good
news is they have a lot of newer houses being built here so maybe in the future
things won't be that bad this area sits just east of downtown cleveland so if you're looking for it
on the map it's right there it's not too far from the cuyahoga river and it's got fairfax to its
east the total crime in central is 245 above the national average and their violent crime
rate is 504 percent above the national average they say they got about 11 000 residents living
here but i also saw an estimate that it's closer to 14 000 so i don't know they don't have hardly
anything for sale here it's mostly like i said houses that are decent that will probably go for
about eighty thousand dollars but most of it is housing projects and rentals they say the median
rent here is 362 000. the quality of life score in central is 58. number three kinsmen you know
how i keep saying that if you got train tracks on the bordering parts or near there well kinsman
has it bad not only do they have train tracks bordering it in almost every single side three
of the four sides and then they have two separate train track interchange you know like different
trains crossing over each other this whole area is filled with tracks they got some industrial areas
and different this place is a mess in the middle it almost looks like these people are captive
i talked to another youtuber who's from cleveland steven b russell uh he said his grandfather grew
up there and it's not a good place how bad you ask well the median listing price here is thirty six
thousand dollars they have like a few homes that are under forty thousand dollars that are for sale
but then they have a bunch that are foreclosed on and are up for bids okay so these houses suck so
bad in this neighborhood sucks so bad that nobody wants to spend forty thousand dollars on one they
actually have to put it up for a bid which means they're going to be lucky if they sell it for 30
000. kinsmen is a small neighborhood it's on the east side of Cleveland centered along kinsmen road
and it's bordered to the south by union avenue and to the east by Kingsbury boulevard and martin
Luther king boulevard the RTA red line runs just to the north of this neighborhood their crime
rate is 251 percent above the national average violent crime rate is 515 percent above the
national average and their quality of life score is a whopping 59. number 2 north broadway this is
another small neighborhood with just a little over 5 000 residents and it is just to the west and it
is just to the west of kinsmen they are surrounded by nothing good tons of industrial areas train
tracks public housing in the area if this is your only option get a backpack and move into the woods
this place is so bad their median listing price is only 22 000 now statistically this place
is not a great place to live it's actually got horrible stats but if you look at the houses
a lot of them that are for sale are decent sure they're almost all under 50 000 which doesn't you
know paint a pretty picture for the neighborhood but they look like they're in okay shape like you
might need to do just a little bit of work and you got a house for under fifty thousand throw
ten thousand dollars into this house you're living like a king if you survive the violent crime rate
here is 536 percent above the national average their total crime rate is 264 above the national
average like i said median listing price here is 22 000 but probably 40 to 50 000 will get you
something livable the quality of life score in the north broadway neighborhood of cleveland is 55.

just naming it industrial valley lowered your property value by 20
now this one normally would have gotten skipped because it is about 90 percent just industrial
that's how it got the name industrial valley it's like train tracks the river's right there
industrial place but they have people living here there's a handful of houses that are in this
horrible neighborhood there's less than 100 houses and a couple apartment buildings that's it the
total crime rate here is 291 percent above the national average their violent crime rate is 584
above the national average that is one of the worst i've ever seen i mean i know there's a place
in chicago a small neighborhood where it's like 640 percent above but this is pretty scary the
median home price here they say is ten thousand dollars realistically they have a few that are
going for forty forty two thousand dollars that's about it and they look livable you could actually
live in these ones sure your next door neighbor is a giant industrial park and you can see which
way the wind's blowing by the cold dust that's in the air but hey you're getting a house for forty
thousand dollars make sure you get bulletproof windows and bars on the windows please the quality
