what is going on everyone how about we talk about neighborhoods that same
people try and avoid on this channel we've gone over the worst things about
states cities towns zip codes airports my cousin's wife and other horrible
places we also did a few videos about bad neighborhoods in different cities
and people really seem to like them so I thought today we would just look at the
country's worst neighborhoods the harsh reality is we have some places in this
country that probably should be vacated fenced off and forgotten about what I
love about these videos are the two type of people that comment on bad
neighborhoods the first are the people that say it isn't that bad and I don't
know what I'm talking about because I'm not from there
the only thing I can say to that is stop typing numbers don't lie the second is
the person that attempts to look hard and gain some street cred and take some
sort of pride in being from here here's the thing living in a really bad
neighborhood isn't a good thing if it was the people who become successful
from that neighborhood would actually stay there they don't and they rarely
come back a crappy neighborhood isn't something to be proud of doing something
about that crappy neighborhood to make it better is wake up now we can do a
video series on this one two or three at least from all around the country
there's that many some of these neighborhoods are really close in the
level that they suck so this really won't be in a hardcore by-the-numbers
order I'm gonna do my best see what we can do here
that being said why don't you lock the front door put a chair against it set
the alarm and watch my top 10 worst neighborhoods in the United States
number 10 downtown Rockford Illinois life in
downtown Rockford is pretty dangerous violent crimes have been on the rise so
much that any person in the area of downtown Rockford has a 1 in 13 chance
of being involved in a crime every single day this last October and
November it was a little busy in the downtown Rockford area they had three
pedestrians hit by cars two people arrested for firing guns in the air four
people shot out in front of different bars one man shot in front of his
apartment one man shot while sitting in his car on the phone they had a couple
of stabbings and not too far from downtown in August someone
decided to fire shots at or around the Auburn high school football game good
times in Rockford number nine West End Cincinnati Ohio West in Cincinnati is
not where you want to be ever the main streets of this area look nice and
promising however once you get into the more residential parts it's where you
start seeing garbage and streets and you know boarded up windows abandoned homes
dogs missing legs and eye patches and broken down fences all the things that
are what you'd see in a really bad movie about a bad neighborhood it's going on
here in West End Cincinnati it's no surprise that while in this neighborhood
you have a 1 in 12 chance of being involved in a crime two nights ago three
men were shot and one died early Sunday morning this was all on the west end
cincinnati cincinnati police say the first one happened on Court and Central
Avenue according to the police the victim took himself to the hospital but
was gone before they arrived then on Finley Street they found an SUV that was
all shot up inside that man who had sprung some holes recently and now was
deceased they also had tracks showing that someone else that was in the
vehicle it sprung some polls also and but it left what is the deal with people
leaving the scene of these things when they've been shot up if you shoot me I'm
sticking around for some help well I mean unless someone's still shooting
then maybe I'm gonna you know beat feet but still you know what I mean number 8
West Jeffries freeway in C Bolt Street Detroit Michigan this neighborhood is
not a good one to get turned around in lost whatever the crime rate here is 140
percent higher than the national average with around 60 reported crimes daily in
this neighborhood alone it doesn't seems to be letting up anytime soon the
year-over-year increase in crime is about 13 percent in other words this
place isn't much safer than a lot of war zones you can get any one of these three
gyms for just under 30 thousand each oh look at least someone took the trash to
the curb now if they could just find an armored trash truck someone might pick
it up number 7 Chelsea Avenue North Claybrook Street Memphis Tennessee this
neighborhood is a smaller one near the new Chicago area of Memphis and yes this
one is just like some of the neighborhoods in the original Chicago
this neighborhood boasts a fatherless household rate that is 90 percent higher
than the national average this usually indicates high poverty rates as well and
this one does have high poverty rates same
parents struggle trust me on that one if you don't know and you were lucky enough
to be raised by two parents single parents do struggle if you were raised
by single mom in art in jail or rehab call your mom and say thank you
a lot of men are dicks in this world this neighborhood is suffering in part
because of that stat number six Whitman Park Camden New Jersey Whitman Park is a
neighborhood where you never want to send your children to school the average
students test score is 76 percent lower than the national average only about 62%
of the residents will graduate high school and only about 2% of them go on
to college and get a four-year degree that is some of the lowest numbers I've
ever seen while I've been doing these lists for those two categories high
school grads and four-year college that's just way too low they have no
jobs Camden is always on the most dangerous list it's in New Jersey
Whitman Park is a giant hole of despair nothing good is going on here oh I'm
sorry rent is dirt cheap but then again you
got to worry about dying all the time make sure you have good health insurance
number five Orange Street and Broad Street Rochester New York Rochester has
an overall crime rate that's 71 percent higher than the national average this
neighborhood specifically has had a overwhelming rise in murders assaults
and robberies in recent years don't move here it's just getting worse
people keep mentioning that Rochester is bad I haven't been there since I was a
kid so I always remember it being nice I guess it was back then
or I was too young to realize the suck that Rochester had to offer not sure
number 4 Russel Woods Detroit Michigan Russel Woods's neighborhood just east of
i-96 the crime rate here is a hundred thirty two percent higher than national
average with a total year over year increase of about fourteen percent while
you're in this neighborhood you have a 1 in 12 chance of being involved in a
crime and yes this is a crime or at least it should be nobody should be
allowed to paint their home that color that's horrible what sucks about Russel
Woods is that there are blocks here that are nice and well-maintained some really
nice homes around here turn the corner and it looks like Godzilla stroll down
the street while doing the bird box challenge number 3 McDaniel Street Saint
Mary Street Atlanta Georgia this area of Atlanta is scary the rate of robbery and
violent assaults have risen the last few years giving you a one in
ten chance of being involved in any crime you have a one in fifteen chance
of being assaulted that means if you go on a group interview at Home Depot one
of you is getting stomped in the parking lot afterwards it's also hot as balls in
the summer in Atlanta and it's a known fact that the heat increases the crime
rate so no group interviews in July or August in Atlanta okay number two James
Buchanan Drive in first Street Jackson Tennessee
hey Tennessee made it twice in this list that is strange because majority of the
state overflows with good people and amazing landscapes but this neighborhood
seems to be void of both of those it's not a place to settle now the homes here
or either apartments or one-bedroom homes
oddly enough chances of people moving here and settling down and giving this
place a better you know look feel curb appeal whatever you want to call it is
not likely I think the best thing that could happen to this neighborhood is a
possessed bulldozer with a full tank of gas and number one city center is st.
Louis right now some of you are wondering where Chicago well Chicago
does have some bad neighborhoods just not as bad as the media makes them sound
crime and murder type stats go off averages or per capita Chicago has far
too many people to make it on a lot of these lists they'll probably be on the
next one I'm sure they went back to East st. Louis the city center area of East
st. Louis has definitely seen some better days you'd probably have to go
back to the 1800s to find those days today however this is not a place you
want to end up have you ever seen that movie escape from New York it's very
similar the crime rate here is 175 percent higher than the national average
there's about 22 reported violent crimes occurring daily in city center East st.
Louis well in the area you have a 1 in 12 chance of being involved in a violent
crime that's a great stat now everyone together here let's all say this
together hey Siri never let me go within a hundred miles of city center East st.
Louis
