Okay, maybe I was a little harsh because the post came off as so clueless. But, i honestly don't think just saying: read this and you'll understand WHY you should avoid high crime neighborhoods gets at what OP was asking. They were obviously looking for a list/map or whatever of areas they should avoid which tells me they put no effort into figuring this out themselves beforehand. I was less upset about the same question on crime coming up and moreso frustrated at the general laziness the internet seems to create. It's easy to just hop on here and ask away and wait for someone to do the work for you.
