Top 25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in America

By The ITS Crew

There’s an excellent report that Walletpop.com has put together using FBI data from 17,000 local Law Enforcement agencies and neighborhoodscout.com, showing the top 25 neighborhoods in terms of violent crime.

What’s truly interesting about the approach to this data, is that these results are narrowed down into neighborhoods. Dr. Andrew Shiller from neighborhoodscout.com makes a great point when he states that “even the cities with the highest crime rates can have relatively safe neighborhoods, and thus it is less useful to generalize about an entire city.”

While Chicago is listed as the number one most dangerous neighborhood, Atlanta has the most neighborhoods in the top 25 with four.

Are you in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America? Find out below.
