Madison and Pulaski to Central Park and Polk to 16th and lawndale is most likely the most dangerous part in the city there’s more shootings in that area of west Garfield to east Garfield park then anywhere it’s a total kill zone ran by 4chs Tvls, New breeds, Uvls, and Gds

10. Chatham 9. South Shore 8. Riverdale 7. West Englewood 6. Grand Crossing 5. North Lawndale 4. Englewood 3. East Garfield Park 2. Washington Park 1. West Garfield As accurate as this list is, I think everyone should look at a map, draw a line around all the bad neighborhoods, then look at the entire (metro) map of Chicago and see that the city as a whole really isn't that bad. Furthermore, most of the violent crime happens to people who are living that kind of life. Average blue and white collar people aren't (edit: directly) affected. These neighborhoods have great culture and like he said they produce alot of great talent in alot of areas. Chicago is a great city and is personally my favorite city in America.

got the chance to take an overnight stay at my friends house in west englewood… yeah i see why it’s on this list. terrifying but exhilarating experience.

I grew up in South Shore, There are some big, beautiful mansions there. However, starting in the mid-1960's, the neighborhood began to change, and most of its population fled to other parts. We went to the Gold Coast, thank goodness. The last time I was there and drove around my childhood home and its nearby biz district, every single store had security gates, making it all look very ghetto. It was a very sad sight to see. The freakin' Dim. mayors after Daley, steadily RUINED a beautiful city. The last one was the WORST. It turns out she was paid to do it. grrrrrr.......

I grew up in East garfield park, went to elementary school in North Lawndale, had friends I'd visit in west garfield park frequently, had to transfer busses on the way to high-school in Humboldt park, and had family I'd visit in Englewood. And if I'm being honest, the most violence I personally ever had happen was when I was downtown. I suppose I might be an exception though.

This is absolutely right about Riverdale I have been a victim of crime at the 3th of December. I was doing Uber around 12am when I received a request to pick up two young black men from 87th around there, to drop them off at Riverdale. Once we got to the final destination I pulled up to drop them and one of them opened the door like he was getting off the car, when suddenly the other guy struck the handgun to my face and pointed me gun told me to take off inside the car that goes to fast that I couldn't understood what was going on, I left all my stuff with the gun face to my head the other guy said shoot him and let go, fortunately a miracle was made, and my life was kept safe.

Buddy and I (from Toronto) got on our Bikes and rode to L.A. in 1981. Both of us are white. First night stay at Motel 6 in Gary Ind. All was good. Got lost in Chicago, and rode through not nice looking area. Asked someone on the corner how to get onto interstate. He was pleasant and gave us directions. He was Black. No problems. 40 years later, I sometimes wonder how we made it out alive, with the stories I hear about Chicago. Still, I have hope that we ALL can live together on this planet.

Most of the North Side is fine, also suburbs like Wilmette and Niles too.

I grew up in Pilsen and loved growing up there. People of mixed nationalities and beautiful! Was bad for awhile but with revitalization it's beautiful again. Chatham was once called Chatham Village. A beautiful place with elite black professionals living there. I had a friend that lived there.

I grew up on the North side. I only been in the south side a few times and I was scared for my life! Once I fell asleep on the L and when I woke up I was the only white guy and almost everyone was staring at me. The other time I had to stop for gas. I felt unsafe and only put in a few $$ and took off even this I needed to use the restroom really bad. Other than that I stayed in my own neck of the woods and never really felt unsafe. Chicago is really a beautiful city.

A lot of memories on keeler ave especially childhood thinking back when we would open up the fire hydrants across from David’s corner store and everyone would be out getting wet in our ghetto water park lol the good times I always think about the most that make me proud to be from k town maybe things will be better someday the city could use some peace for a change

I am moving from East Saint Louis to the Englewood neighborhood in 2 weeks, so I appreciate the list (even though I already knew about the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago) even though the Austin and West Garfield Park neighborhoods should’ve been on the list..

Great to 👀 You Briggs 😀

Could you do the top 50 most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago, please, 10 isn't enough.

Spent the first few years of my childhood in Robbins. Worst I had were some bullying at school and seeing my neighbor's outside trash can on fire.

There is one major issue with your breakdown here... And it's part of the bad reputation that large cities get... The violent crimes in Chicago tend to be targeted. Meaning that you aren't likely to be randomly mugged or attacked by going to/through those "bad" neighborhoods. The crimes tend to happen to gang members or people who gang members know and don't like. Random violence is far more likely in affluent places.

There’s this one game I played before that takes place in Chicago itself where one vigilante who grew up in a tough neighborhood ( the wards/ englewood ) and over times begins to develop a particular set of skills to takes over the whole city by breaching through the city’s infrastructure connected with an very advanced management system to prevent criminal activities from happening. The more I played the game, the more it gives me some perspective of what the Windy City is like on regular daily basis but I know the city is nothing like it is from the game itself.
