Most Ghetto Cities In the U.S.

"Motorcity" is now "Gangway" due to all the gangs infesting the city.

Its sad really. This comes from the lack of jobs that Detroit used to be VERY famous for... Cars and motors ( Assembly lines of Fords and processing of motors). This used to be one of the most prosperous cities but as time went on jobs were hard to hold on to because of racial problems, and many that even had money moved to the suburbs. Ghettos like this had not much support from the government anymore and sadly the citizens did not have the money t survive which there are many homeless and buildings not in tact.

I lived in Detroit for a while, and hated it. Rampant crime, poverty, drugs, gangs, filth, etc. As another person mentioned, the schools here are in a crisis. The water is dirty. There are no families here. It may be a major city, but there is really not a lot to do. Avoid Detroit at all costs. I left there running and screaming and never looked back.

Drugs. Gangs. Everything needs a fresh coat of paint. Poverty. Crime. The horrible schools (look up Detroit public school crisis). Dirty water. Who in their right mind would live here or visit here?

North & East St. Louis City say it all. Vacant buildings everywhere. And the murders. The disrespect. The crime. The racist police. If your black & you go to St. Louis county or South st lohis city. It's like police kkk against every black person. & it's so hot & humid in the summer!

It's ragged, weather sucks, and it's just a hell hole.

There's civil rights riots, rednecks, crack housed and just phsyco all around

Murder central. Ebonics galore. The pizza sucks. Avoid this place like the plague.

On the news every night. Colored folks riot, burn parked cars, loot businesses, disrespect the law and refuse to obey police instructions - resulting in deaths. Unbelievable.

Men have gold teeth, and women's hair looks like a picture of Kool-Aid.

This city is a blue collar failure. There are third world cities that are statistically safer than this trash city.

We are gay and people definitely wanted to kill us while we were walking down the street

Story: I wasn't allowed to go alone in the Walmart with the Jazz statue next to the abandoned Six Flags alone because of how ghetto it was, in the car, me and my brother joked about if this was the NOLA Walmart, what would the Compton Walmart be like?

Yo I was born on the north side of the lake but all I can say is that this place is in the dirty ass south and way more ghetto than Detroit, plus we got Lil Wayne and dj khaled yo plus Louisiana got the highest crime rate, casinos and strippers everywhere as well as drugs. Yep, this place is the most ghetto

New Orleans is full of crime, strippers, drunks, gangs, rednecks, drugs, and filth. I don't see why it's so popular. It was a horrible vacation.

Gangs. Rednecks. Everything needs a a fresh coat of paint. Drugs. Strippers. New Orleans is so overrated.

Ghetto! It's an embarrassment to be from this place! 762 murders! Every politician in this city is a Democrat and 90% of the population here is brainwashed by the liberal politicians and media in this city, which is why it won't get any better. The Democrats and liberals will act like they want this city to be better, but all what they care about is someone saying a racist comment or the few police shootings, instead of being more focused on the real issue of 99% of shootings being gang-related, and only a quarter of the homicides in this city are solved. That is the real problem with crime in Chicago, and these soft ass liberals are too weak to face the real problem which is why there has been a 57% increase in homicides in the city of Chicago in 2016 alone! This is why I will be moving to Mobile, Alabama when I get a little older since they manage to keep the annual amount of homicides there under 30.

My best friend got shot when we were shopping...

That was me and you don't no how it feels to grow up hard

I live in Chicago...

I remember, whenever we go there with only the boys (older sister is a tattletale, younger sister too young to hear the genre, Mom would scold Dad for listening to it), Dad would automatically switch to the R&B station because "it was the Dirty South, so duh" it was annoying because I didn't want to look like a white who thinks he's black I always told him to turn it down whenever we entered the Six Flags parking lot and all that stuff.

Atlanta is not really that ghetto it depends what side or what place you live in but It is really tough out there though lol

Hard to understand a word anyone says. Have some nice areas but man when you hit the west side, pure country ghetto, and the gold teeth business is in competition with New Orleans and Baltimore. Pure mess.

Ghetto dance moves are invented here. Dab, nae nae, etc.

Yes, it is a ghetto city. People with guns and knives walking around the city, many drunks walking around.

I live In Miami once you leave south beach and cross that bridge it's a whole different world. Also the further south you go from south Miami the worse it gets

Full of ghetto druggies and crime and gangs. I don't know who would want to live here.

Yo I live in Miami and there is a car accident every day. Once when I was in high school a student got jumped a few feet away from me at a stop waiting for her mom in Hialeah. This place is crazy but the worst part to me is downtown Miami. That place is the worst. I don't recommend it for anyone who isn't rich.

I live in a affluent and wealthy part of Oakland and Still have to very careful. Upgrading our security systems with new tech soon because the location is more secluded and a hotspot for gang meetings. The premise home defense system, chokepoints, and secure locations in the house must be evaluated in case of a break-in. the more valuable items are in shielded and concealed rooms with false doors and top rated safes. One must assume the worst of Oakland when walking the streets. If you buy an expensive car, DO NOT buy any car with a non solid top such as a convertible and lock your doors when driving slowly through neighborhoods.

Robberies, Muggings, Gang Violence, Murder, Drugs, and Theft is everywhere in this city. The worst of the worst in the Bay Area.

How is this not even on the list?

People try to beat you up its awful

The crime rate is through the roof and there is ALWAYS a story of a shooting in the papers there

Nasty 5th warders

Was seeing a concert and someone pulled a draco on me

Tons of homeless, cush corner, always a shooting, car jacking or home invasion being reported. Dirty city lots of gang activity.
