Apparently, These are the Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in Evansville

You have seen and heard a lot of crime in Evansville on the news lately, but do you know which areas of town are the most dangerous?

Every big city has its good and bad parts of town. Locals typically know which parts of town to avoid. However, if you are new to the area or just don't know Evansville neighborhoods that well, you might find yourself in the wrong part of town. Now, I am from this area, but even I don't know what the good and bad parts of the city are. Thankfully, there are resources like NeighborhoodScout to help in that department. The website is full of valuable information from real estate, schools, and crime.

That's great news for those neighborhoods. However, with the good, there is also the bad. According to NeighborhoodScout:

With a crime rate of 48 per one thousand residents, Evansville has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 21. Within Indiana, more than 99% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Evansville. In fact, after researching dangerous places to live, NeighborhoodScout found Evansville to be one of the top 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S.A.

So, which Evansville neighborhoods are the most dangerous? Well, there's no top ten for this list, but it's pretty easy to decipher which neighborhoods are among the worst by the shading on the map of Evansville neighborhoods.
