Most Ghetto Cities In the U.S.

I call here Gotham city. The joker is playing in that maad city.

Can't step outside without seeing and family with a single mother on the streets, not even because they don't have the money to buy a house, but because there is no where to live. the city is a trash dump, wasteland, and a complete $4! + hole

I lived here for a few months. The school system is absolutely awful. There are thousands of gangs residing here, and the crime is horrible. The town is covered in filth, and everything is run down. There are no sane people residing here. No families. I had a bullet through the wall, and left this hell hole right after that.

Everything is crumbling and needs a fresh coat of paint. Drugs. Crime. Ghetto.

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.

I lived in here and there was gun sounds at night

definitely - Luckys

Worst place to live in the US is Compton, for sure. The gangs rule the town, and there is minuscule police presence. The town is full of filth, and abandoned businesses. As another person mentioned, I wouldn't eat in Compton. The crime rate is sky high, and nowhere is safe. No families, and drugs, sex, and violence galore.

I watched a documentary about the gangs in Compton, Watts, and South Central and for some reason the local children are always referred to as "Lil' Homies." - NicholasYellow

Live near it probably as bad as east Los Angeles

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.

Had to leave because it was so god damn ghetto.

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

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

Gary is super ugly. Almost everyone I know from here is super ghetto and even though they graduated from high school they are ignorant. Almost all the homes here are infested with roaches and rats. There are drugs easily found everywhere and youll be surrounded by murders being commited. There is low police supervision. Gary is depressive to live in and it will make you depressed to pass by it.

Bad

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.

Wayne. (overseas visitor)

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

Ghetto as hell

4th most segregated. You either get a racist rich white person, or a racist extremely uneducated white trash/black ghetto.

Probably the dirtiest, smelliest, most depressing city on the East Coast.

I use to live there people get shot everyday in front of little kids that's not right man

#1 on here

Too many people just do not care and the dumb white people from the suburbs think it is funny to drive down some sketchy streets for fun. They are too ignorant and make it worse.

Children under 18 get killed on a daily basis

Most are innocent of the crime...

The city is ghetto ( no clean water) not the people

Ghetto. Can't even drink their own tap water.

Very scary place.

North philly is the gang ec bk

This city has a lot of killers and gangs and fights and bad education

Heroin city

I believe a huge part of Philadelphia citizens pride themselves on being ghetto. There’s dangerous parts as well. But it’s the lack of trying to be better that brings this city down. The more ghetto/white trash you are, you almost get more respect. It’s very sad. Try to be better, talk proper English, not get tattoos on your breasts and stop dressing like you’re 15 anymore... and for the love of GOD don’t even try heroin, oxy or Percocet.

Ugly houses everywhere and lots of crime in certain neighborhoods

Not ghetto this is a wonderful city
It’s called the city of good neighbors for a reason

Super ghetto in most of the east and west side but pretty chill in the suburbs. There’s definitely some hoods u don’t wanna ness with

This is not ghetto at all tf. Not a single bad bitch

North tulsa is the hood woodrow st crips

I was born up in Naw lins but lived fur fo a bit idc bout what no body thinks bout here I also lived in baton rouge

Ghetto kids riding on the handicapped scooters in the Wal Mart harassing everyone in line and security doesn't even care. Guy punches his girlfriend like 10 times in front of my hotel and calmly just gets out of the car and starts walking down the street. That was just in the 1 day I stayed there during a stop through on vacation.

Shreveport in some places are as nice as anywhere else

Down town needs some help bad

I was born in D.C. where this used to be called "Chocolate City" because of the large Black population in D.C., many are very educated with good jobs, while others struggle to survive and live in housing projects that are well kept. This is a very political town, the government is at your finger tips, and there are lots of community benefits to assist you. D.C. is like any other urban city that is being invaded by outsiders seeking to Gentrify our Black community.

People forget where the most Afro-Americans live

Really ghetto here. Always smells like weed, people bumping music super loud, and the city just looks ghetto. Lot of beaten down neighborhoods and shootings. Waterbury is pretty bad too.

Ghetto! Stay away from the jungle!

Ghetto.. got sexually assualted by a black man.

It all starts in the middle

Zweetest home

East coast Compton

HELL

GHETTO

The real ghetto
Should be top 5

Bad

If you go out the downtown. You'll found a ghetto neighborhood. However, if you head out to rural area away from Tampa, it's not ghetto. Tampa was a great city but northern would turn this into like New York City. - InfernoTopTenners

Nice place but Ybor City is very ghetto.

This the hood for real

Look 1101 S Oro Street on google street view

The most ghetto place in the use

This city made it's name by being called "murderapolice" that name came in the 90's when the homicide rate was at its highest.

ghetto ash

People act like animals here. Very run down. Horrible schools. Stabbings happen all the time.

Ghetto as hell

It is very broken down and dangerous

I live in San Antonio all my life. Not really ghetto,downtown is one of the safest cities to walk. Crime just like other cities, hardly any gang problems. cops everywhere

Are u kidding me. Nothing but rich primarily white liberals. Most overrated tourist city in the country. Hasnt been cool or hood since the early 90s

More ghetto than you would think

I live here and there are tons of shootings here. Just go into the northern east side and you will think this should be too 10

This city is high in crime

Place is the OG Projects. Stay away. Should be top 10
