warren and greenfield and around that area near Dearborn are god awful.
the suburbs are fine, however I wouldn't choose to be anywhere south of 8 mile.
anything nearer Detroit than Ferndale and my car doors are locked and no eye contact is made.

Re: Most Dangerous Cities 2006
Lets take these stats and compare it to the Black or African American population in these "dangerous" cities:
St Louis, MO 51.20% Black African American
Flint, MI 53.27% Black or African American
Detroit, MI 53.27% Black or African American
Compton, CA 40.31% Black or African American
Camden NJ 53.35% Black or African American
U.S., 12.9% of the population Black or African American.
May be they just took the US cities with the highest percentage of black folks and assumed that they must be the most dangerous places. I wonder if they listed cities according to white collar crimes could they just take the US cities with the most white folks and list them from top to bottom? hmmm.....
Anyway, remember to stay away from black people. Apparently their skin colour is very dangerous!
