The 10 MOST GHETTO CITIES 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.
This channel talks about America, different states, education, travel, geography and what it's like to live in different places in America.

"He left him in Memphis and he got shot on his own" LOL
Love the random banter whenever Mappy and his missus turns up.
This film is sad without analysis of how ghettos are created and maintained (as in keep them poor) by governments. Or in fact, poverty in general.

after seeing programs like this, the U. S. A. & Canada have to stop helping other countries out with money, & start looking after the homeless people here, as we are the countries people here & the other countries have to get off their lazy asses, & help their people to survive, & how many other countries who have kings, Queens, Princesses, & Princes, who keep the money for themselves, & not helping their people -- if this is going to keep, THEN, we may have another world war, so be careful about the future -

One time, when going back to Indiana for a family reunion, I decided to drive the length of US 79 from Round Rock, Texas to Russellville, KY. (US 79 becomes KY79, which I took northward to SR135 in Indiana, where it crossed the Ohio River.)
I had a bunch of people ask me if I actually drove through Memphis, TN. I did, though US 79 isn't particularly well-marked through the city. Some parts of Memphis are quite nice. Others are, well -- @^@. Nothing bad happened to me. Several people told me I was really lucky.
Live. And. Learn.
Cities and towns need to start a program to demolish any property that doesn't generate tax revenue or any interest in redevelopment. One or two years of no revenue or interest and the property become a vacant lot. Then patrol the area to keep it from becoming a drug haven. A few $ a year from the property tax revenue each property owner pays can go into that fund. Call it a "Ghetto Prevention and Property Preservation Tax". Trash begats trash and if it isn't cleaned up, it begast more trash. Active code enforcement should be a higher priority than it is in these areas.

Ghettos can be found in every big city. I got lost driving in what I found out is the Fifth Ward in Houston. Very scary. It seems oh-so- red Texas can’t blame democrats for that too. But I am sure they will try.

Paterson NJ 💯💯

I visited Downtown Patterson last year and it felt pretty ok to me, but I haven't walked through the rest of the city so the outlying parts might be sketchier. (Also, many people have already pointed out how much worse Camden is- then again, the absence of Gary, East St. Louis etc suggests that Nick is trying to focus on cities with over 100,000 people, which the nation's most truly horrendous towns are not).

Well done guy I appreciate

I feel really sorry for some black Americans, the ones I know are generally very nice, but there are always some terrible people corrupting the reputation of the whole group.
