Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods
URBAN CRIME | FBI statistics show residents near 55th and State had 1-in-4 chance of being victims
June 23, 2009
BY MARK J. KONKOL Staff Reporter
Chicago is home to four of the top 25 most dangerous "neighborhoods" in the country, including a sliver of Washington Park that ranked No. 2, a recently released study of FBI crime statistics shows.
Folks who lived near 55th and State -- less than two miles from President Obama's house and the possible site of a future Olympic stadium -- had a 1-in-4 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime each year between 2005 and 2007, according to NeighborhoodScout.com.
That section of Washington Park -- home to part of the now-demolished Robert Taylor public housing high-rises during the years of the study -- was edged out of the top spot by a crime-ridden corner of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Chicago was the only city to land more than two neighborhoods on the list, which ranked danger by calculating the number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents in a census tract.
Chicago's three other danger zones are located in poverty-stricken Englewood, a hot bed for violence in recent years. They include census tracts near:
• • 66th and Yale, ranked No. 19 with a violent crime ratio of 115 (per 1,000 residents).
• • 58th and Wallace and 60th and Winchester, ranked No. 24 and 25, respectively. Residents had a 1-in-9 chance of being violent crime victims.
"Englewood is a neighborhood that has had a lot of things happen to it. There are very good people in Englewood, and their houses are often the only ones standing on their block," said Ald. Freddrenna Lyle (6th). "Public policy decisions made long ago caused us to get where we are today."
Lyle, whose ward includes 66th and Yale, said the study shines another light on the desperate need for both short-term fixes and a long-term solution to social problems that plague Englewood.
"It's been time for [Mayor Daley] to pay attention," she said. "We put more money collectively into Englewood than anywhere else, but it's a little here and a little there. We need to go back in there and consolidate resources to solve some of the problems."
The study's author, geographer Dr. Andrew Schiller, said the calculation gives people a better way to understand the "climate" of crime in particular sections of cities.
"It's better to understand the climate rather than the weather. It's very important to have a sense of risk for somebody in a particular location rather than a more pedestrian counting of what happened last week," Schiller said.

Nothing new to me, just more to be embarrassment about.
Out of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods, 4 are in Chicago.
That 4 makes Chicago the worst out the entire USA.
Illinois as a whole has a total of 5 on the list....making it the worst state in all of America. In the last 19 months Chicago has had over
600+ school kids admitted into hospitals for some violent related injuries. Being a mixxture of Black and Latino Kids....but the mass majority are Black. Also, Illinois has the worst gun laws in the entire Nation.....proof that strict gun laws dont work
Hmmm....Since im typign about Chicago, let me insert Obama into this.....
One thing i find funny is how the President hasnt even mention the carnage happening in his home town. The second most fucked up neighborhood on the list is blocks away from his house; and Blocks away from the spot where crooked ass mayor Daley is planning to land grab and build an Olympic stadium.
Chicago has been in the media for a while now because of our rise in violence.
CNN, Fox, Huffington Post, NY Times...they all chimed in on the situation. But when the issue gets brought up in front of mayor Daley, he brushes it off like it aint shit. Obama doesnt mention Chicago much, major issues within this country, his admin said he didnt have the time. but when it came time to talk about the Olympics, he and his admin had the time, and they dedicated an entire office within the White house for the Olympic games.
Olympics....Olympics.......Olympics
Daley><Obama
Since Blacks folks in the Chi act like scared bitches when its time to step to these young, mama boy, emotional, insecure ass gangbangin niggas. They rather depend solely on their elected official that dont give ah fuck about them, see the support Black Chicagoans give to Obama and Daley for some examples, i expect more of the same from my city
Bgol niggas never rest.
Like I keep saying, we're all in this together. Stop regional bullshit.
