The 10 MOST GHETTO CITIES in AMERICA
The ghetto. Such a powerful word in the American language. Just the word can bring up racial tensions and political arguments. The term originally referred to large Jewish neighborhoods in Europe, and then was used to describe large Jewish neighborhoods in New York City here in America.
10. St. Louis, Missouri
The factors which make St. Louis a true ghetto, according to the definition of a ghetto, is the poverty and the crime. St. Louis, as we’ve described before on this channel, is the 5th most violent place in America.
9. Oakland, California
There are large parts of the city where people DO live in poverty. In some neighborhoods - that number is nearly half. It’s also estimated that about 2% of all housing units in Oakland are considered public housing - or projects.
8. Stockton, California
Poverty wise, Stockton isn’t that high - it ranks only in the top 25%. But violence here is terrible. Stockton ranks 10th in America for number of violent crimes per capita.
7. Baltimore, Maryland
Poverty wise, it ain’t pretty here - overall, like in Oakland, there are some high earners here, putting Baltimore only in the top 25% poverty wise. But going back to our original housing projects research, we can see that Baltimore ranks third in the US for number of public housing as a percentage of all housing.
6. Hartford, Connecticut
Hartford may not be a place that you hear of very often. Unless you’re from Connecticut. Then you know Hartford very well. Could Harford be a worse ghetto than Baltimore? Well, if you’re measuring ghetto statistics, than...yes.
5. Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland isn’t really going to shock anyone by making this list. Ohio’s most infamous city has lost 120,000 people in the last 20 years. Here’s why: It’s the second poorest city in the nation, to start. 35% of people here live in poverty, and Cleveland has the most children that live in poverty in the nation.
4. San Bernardino, California
3. Paterson, New Jersey
Back to the east coast we go again, as we come to Paterson, New Jersey. Now, Paterson is the only city on this list I have never been to. It’s actually a real ghetto according to the definition. Paterson was once home to a Jewish population that numbered 40,000 people - and remember, the original term ‘ghetto’ referred to Jewish neighborhoods.
2. Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis, Tennessee is our second most ghetto city. It’s outright terrible for crime here. It’s the third most violent city in the nation, and also ranks 5th for number of property crimes per capita. And 75% of the city is a minority population.
1. Detroit, Michigan
Of course, many of you probably guessed Detroit would be on top of this list. Michigan’s crown jewel ranks first for poverty, first for violent crimes, and 7th for its minority population, where 90% of its residents minorities.
