According to data collected by NeighborhoodScout.com and Dr. Andrew Schiller the most dangerous neighborhood in the United States is in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is important to remember this list is not a list of the most dangerous cities in the country, this top 25 list breaks it down to a much more specific geographical area: neighborhoods. Why does the focus lie on neighbourhoods? Even the cities with the highest crime rates can have relatively safe neighborhoods, and thus it is less useful to generalize about an entire city.
