Dangerous cities
The website recently released its list of the 100 most dangerous cities in America. The list was created using crime data and statistics from the FBI, U.S. Justice Department and more than 17,000 local law enforcement agencies.
According to Neighborhood Scout, Camden is the country’s most dangerous city. According to the data, you have a one in 39 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime in Camden.
Neighborhood Scout’s data shows that in the past year 1,895 violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) have happened in Camden. “While these numbers are much less than Philadelphia’s next door (17,088 violent crimes), factoring in population size is what pushes Camden to the top of the list. Camden soars over the national average of 3.8 violent crimes per 1,000 people with 25.66 (more than six times the national average),” the report said.
Other cities in New Jersey that made the list include:
Atlantic City, which was 8th
Bridgeton, which was 25th
Trenton, which was 27th
Newark, which was 30th
Paterson, which was 60th
Taking all available data, Neighborhood Scout applies a mathematical algorithm that estimates the total number of crimes and crime rates for each neighborhood, with nearly 90-percent accuracy.
“With this report on the most dangerous cities, what we’re seeing is a really different picture of the types of locations that have the highest violent crime from what many people expect,” said Andrew Schiller, CEO and founder of NeighborhoodScout. “The picture of violent crime in America in many people’s minds is of high rise public housing projects, but once we did the analysis, we realized that the picture of violent crime in America is different today with more of the most dangerous areas dominated by single family homes, abandoned homes, low-income areas in inner-ring suburbs or decaying cities.”
Here is the full list of America’s most dangerous cities, according to Neighborhood Scout.
