25 most dangertsous neighborhoods in America

I hate slideshow-type articles (meant for page clicks) and especially hate how sensationalist most try to be. Data aggregation can be a wonderful thing—but it often creates misleading press.

 

Let's take an average fictional neighborhood--"Linden Oaks". The streets are lit at night, children play in the playground, people aren't assuming that their houses will be robbed during the day, and so forth. Maybe even lower middle class, but by no means the worst place in town. Stan More, a resident of Linden Oaks, stabs his wife in the middle of a heated argument. Two streets over, Ella Lee and Rocky River are on the couch cuddling and Rocky has sex with Ella, except she didn't ask for it and didn't like it.

 

Police are called, and arrest Rocky on charges of rape and Stan on charges of murder. This is data aggregated and flags Linden Oaks as a place where rapes and murders happen.
