Good question... I'm very surprised not to see International Blvd in Oakland on that list.

The area mentioned in STL isn't quite God's half acre, but I think there are definately worse areas.

From here

The methodology and data used to determine the list of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in America is simple and utilizes information from many reliable third party sources. Using FBI data from 17,000 different agencies Dr. Schiller and his team looked at key indicators as identified within the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. Incidents and rates per 1,000 people in a neighborhood population for specific violent crimes were then calculated.

The violent crimes considered by Dr. Schiller as key indicators of a "dangerous neighborhood" are:

* murder
* non-negligent manslaughter
* forcible rape
* armed robbery
* aggravated assault

Other crimes like date rape, domestic assault and child abuse (not classified as aggravated), and petty theft were excluded from the data. Property crimes, however, were incorporated in to the rating given to the various neighborhoods identified in the study.

Actual crime statistics, and the chance you have of a crime happening to you in that neighborhood. Not sure how they calculate that as it's a subscription service I can't be bothered to pay for.

Nothing in Oregon there of course. Crime won't get you but our air will kill you. According to a report yesterday, we've got the 3rd most toxic air in the country.

I think we're in the top 5 too. It's all that fresh country air, I tell you! We need more smog!
