A newly-released study of FBI crime statistics shows that Florida is home to four of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country. The study was developed by NeighborhoodScout.com, a Web site that compares neighborhoods on a number of factors, including crime statistics.
1. Cincinnati, -- Central Pwky./Liberty St.
2. Chicago, IL -- State St./Garfield Blvd.
3. Miami, Fl -- 7th Ave./North River Dr.
4. Jacksonville, FL -- Beaver St./Broad St.
5. Baltimore, MD -- North Ave./Belair Rd.
6. Kansas City, MO -- Bales Ave./30th St.
7. Memphis, TN --Warford St./Mt. Olive Rd.
8. Kansas City, MO -- Forest Ave./41st St.
9. Dallas, TX -- Route 352/Scyene Rd.
10. Richmond, VA -- Church Hill
11. Memphis, TN -- Bellevue Blvd./Lamar Ave.
12. Dallas, TX -- 2nd Ave./Hatcher St.
13. Springfield, IL -- Cook St./11th St.
14. St. Louis, MO -- 14th St./Dr. Martin Luther King Dr.
15. Little Rock, AK -- Roosevelt Rd./Bond St.
16. Philadelphia, PA -- Broad St./Dauphin St.
17. Tampa, FL -- Amelia Ave./Tampa St.
18. New York, NY -- St. Nicholas Ave./125th St.
19. Chicago, IL --66th St./Yale Ave.
20. Baltimore, MD -- Orleans St./Front St.
21. Cleveland, PH -- Cedar Ave./55th St.
22. Orlando, FL -- East-West Expy./Orange Blossom Trail
23. Detroit, MI -- Mt. Elliott St./Palmer Ave.
24. Chicago, IL -- Wallace St./58th St.
25. Chicago, IL -- Winchester Ave./60th St.
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. Andrew 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.
Researchers looking to identify the most dangerous neighborhood in America compiled ratings for each of these factors. An overall rating was assigned to neighborhoods based on a combination of violent crime data and property crime figures. A prediction was then made of the likelihood, per 1000 people in the neighborhood, that a resident would fall victim to one of the identified crimes.
The data was collected over a period of three years and deviations were added. Confounding variables such as socio-economic conditions, proximity to social service centers, policing resources per area, and age/condition of the neighborhood were not factored into the results.
