Oh brother, Kelly Street and Hirsch Rd. are awful, what is commonly refered to as "the Kashmere Gardens" is in my opinion the poorest. However, Bissonet and Gessner are very dangerous at night more drug game and gangs on the Southwest side, very fast paced. The area from N. Wayside to Mesa Rd. (upper 5th Ward) is ALL black and low income. There is a Fiesta grocery store on Mesa and Tidwell, the parking lot also serves as a metro bus transit center; dude I have seen some really rough stuff i.e; fights, threats, jumpings, and very nasty looking tricks. This neighborhood is 12 miles from downtown.
