Detroit has always been a city of contrasts. Once the powerhouse of America’s auto industry, it is still pushing through deep economic hardship and stubborn crime in some neighborhoods. Amid the bright signs of reinvestment and cultural revival, there remain pockets where the struggle to stay safe and make ends meet is a daily test.
In 2025, the city’s story is not just about decline or comeback but about complexity. Some districts, long flagged as dangerous like Belmont, Van Steuban, and Fishkorn, still carry heavy reputations. Yet crime and poverty stretch beyond the usual suspects, spilling into less publicized corners of the city.
Even though we are discussing the “worst neighborhoods in Detroit,” this article aims to document, not sensationalize. After spending time on the ground and listening to residents, I’ve seen how Detroiters balance fear with fierce pride, hardship with small victories. Their resilience gives the city its pulse.
Still, there are neighborhoods whose challenges cannot be ignored. In the sections ahead, we’ll take a closer, unflinching look at ten communities where daily life remains tough, but where the will to endure and rebuild is unmistakable.
Table of Contents
Toggle10. Poletown East
At the bottom of the list, we come to Poletown East, one of the smallest and most impoverished neighborhoods in Detroit. With such a low population, the crime rate is 307% higher than the state average.
People here have a 1 in 14 chance of being crime victims, and the poverty is intense. The median income is a meager $16,286, and homes are falling apart.
Overall Crime Rate
-
According to HomeSnacks, Poletown East had an estimated overall crime rate of 7,488 per 100,000 people (i.e. ~7.49 % annualized) in their last reporting year.
-
HomeSnacks also reports that this is ~222.18 % above the U.S. national average.
-
In that same source, 27 total crimes were tallied in the “last reporting year” for the area (though given the small population base, scaling to per-100k inflates the rate).
Violent Crime
-
HomeSnacks estimates 3,027 violent crimes per 100,000 people in Poletown East (this includes assault, robbery, etc.).
-
To put that in perspective, that is extremely high compared to national benchmarks.
Property Crime
-
It is estimated that there are 4,461 property crimes per 100,000 people in Poletown East.
Comparison to Other Benchmarks
-
For Detroit as a whole, the violent crime rate is much lower per capita (though still very high). NeighborhoodScout reports Detroit’s violent crime rate is ~20.07 per 1,000 (i.e. 2,007 per 100,000) and property crime ~46.27 per 1,000 (i.e. 4,627 per 100,000) in recent years.
-
The Poletown East estimates thus suggest its violent crime rate is well above even Detroit’s average (per those sources).
-
Another site, AreaVibes, states that Poletown East crime rates are 250 % higher than the national average, with violent crime ~564 % above national average.
9. The Eye
The Eye is one of those neighborhoods with a unique name but a familiar story. The neighborhood got its name from community watch groups formed in the 1980s, but unfortunately, crime is still a huge issue here.
With a population of 3,437 and a crime rate 479% higher than the Michigan average, safety is not a guarantee.
Overall Crime Rate & Trends
-
Homesnacks estimates 387 total crimes in a recent reporting year in The Eye, which corresponds to ≈ 10,642 incidents per 100,000 people according to their calculation.
-
They break that down further to violent crime ~5,010 incidents per 100,000 and property crime ~5,632 per 100,000.
-
According to CrimeGrade, the neighborhood’s total crime rate is ~61.58 per 1,000 residents (i.e. 61,580 per 100,000) in a “typical year”—though that figure may represent a distinct methodology or scaled estimate.
-
The Eye is ranked in the 18th percentile for safety (meaning it is safer than 18% of neighborhoods, but less safe than 82%) in the CrimeGrade assessment.
-
CrimeGrade also notes that the central parts of the neighborhood see more incidents (e.g. ~40 per year in some zones) versus ~2 in the northeast portion.
-
AreaVibes reports that total crime in The Eye is 344% above typical U.S. levels; violent crime is 1,047% above; property crime is 211% above.
-
AreaVibes claims crime in The Eye increased by 18% year-over-year and that the area’s crime is 479% higher than the Michigan average.
Violent Crime (Homicide, Assault, Robbery, etc.)
-
Murder in The Eye is estimated by CrimeGrade at 0.2376 per 1,000 residents per year, which is ~23.76 per 100,000.
-
Because the neighborhood has a small population base, localized events (one or two homicides) can have high per-capita impact.
-
Homesnacks’ breakdown suggests that violent crime accounts for a large portion of the total crime burden in The Eye (~5,010 per 100,000 in their estimates)
-
Robbery, assault, and other violent offenses are embedded in the cost-of-crime breakdown by CrimeGrade (they allocate portions of cost to “assault,” “robbery,” etc.).
Property Crime & Nonviolent Offenses
-
Homesnacks estimates ~5,632 property crimes per 100,000 in The Eye.
-
In the CrimeGrade “Cost of Crime” breakdown, they allocate costs across burglary, vehicle theft, theft, arson, vandalism, etc. (for instance, theft ~ $427,421 in aggregate cost)
-
The Eye’s cost of crime per resident is estimated at $1,192/year in tangible costs, which includes property crime burden.
8. Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald is another place where crime and economic hardship go hand in hand. With a population of 5,100, the crime rate here is 516% higher than the Michigan average.
People in this area have a 1 in 9 chance of being a victim of crime, which keeps many residents on edge.
Overview & Crime Rating
-
Fitzgerald receives a very poor grade for violent crime (an “F”) from CrimeGrade.
-
According to statistics, the violent crime rate is about 19.72 per 1,000 residents in a typical year in Fitzgerald.
-
Fitzgerald ranks in the 2nd percentile for safety (that is, safer than only 2% of U.S. neighborhoods) under CrimeGrade’s metrics.
-
Some sources report much higher overall crime rates (inclusive of property crimes). For example, an alternate CrimeGrade listing puts the total crime rate around 83.63 per 1,000 residents (i.e. ~1 in 10 chance per year) for all crimes (violent + property).
-
According to Homesnacks, in a recent reporting year there were 729 total crimes in Fitzgerald, which corresponds to ~11,336 per 100,000 (i.e. 11,336 / 100k) in that estimate.
-
In that same estimate, violent crime was ~5,194 per 100,000, and property crime ~6,142 per 100,000.

- Assault ~1,824.3 per 100,000
- Murder ~104.2 per 100,000
- Robbery ~677.6 per 100,000
The numbers above are extremely elevated relative to national averages. For reference, the national rate of assault (per 100k) is ~282.7; for murder ~6.1; for robbery ~135.5.
Property Crime & Overall Crime
- Beyond violent crime, Fitzgerald suffers from high property crime rates. In the Homesnacks data: ~6,142 property crimes per 100,000.
- The “Overall Crime” figure (violent + property) is reported in various sources to be well above both city and national averages. For example, AreaVibes claims that Fitzgerald’s crime rates are 359% higher than the national average, with violent crimes at ~1009% above average.
- AreaVibes also states that a “1 in 10” chance exists of becoming a crime victim in Fitzgerald.
7. Franklin Park
Franklin Park has a population of just over 11,000 and crime rates that are 543% higher than the national average. With a 1 in 8 chance of becoming a crime victim, this neighborhood sees plenty of violence related to gangs and drugs.
The median income here is $29,235, Property Club reports, which is just another sign of the economic challenges residents face.
Overview & Safety Grade
-
According to CrimeGrade, the overall crime rate in Franklin Park is about 63.85 per 1,000 residents per year under typical conditions.

6. Greensbriar
@googletheworld Ep 27 | Abandoned | Two homes in Greensbriar eventually are abandoned and demolished with no traces left except the driveway. #abandoned #abandonedhouse #abandonedplaces #abandonedtiktok #detroit #detroitmi #detroitmichigan #Michigan #xplr #explore #explorepage #retokfornature #inequality #urbanhell #urbandecay #suburbanhellscape #fyp #fypシ #fypage #googleearth #googlemaps #googlestreetview #googletheworld #paratii #paratitiktok ♬ Detroit – Disasterpeace
Greensbriar may be one of Detroit’s smaller neighborhoods, with only about 2,500 people, but it’s one of the most dangerous.
The crime rate here is 262% higher than the national average. In a neighborhood where you have a 1 in 7 chance of being a crime victim, that small size doesn’t feel comforting.
Gang violence and drug activity are rampant, and economic hardship is everywhere. The median income here is just over $31,000, and home prices hover around $31,200.
It’s not enough to make life feel secure or prosperous. For the people living in Greensbriar, day-to-day survival often feels like the primary goal.
Overview & relative danger ranking
-
According to AreaVibes, crime rates in Greensbriar are 262% higher than the national average, and violent crimes are 586% higher than the national average.
-
Homesnacks reports that Greensbriar’s overall crime rate is ≈ 14,981 per 100,000 people, with a violent crime rate of ≈ 7,057 per 100,000 and property crime ≈ 7,924 per 100,000. They say that overall crime is 544.57% above the national average.
-
On the flip side, a user comment on Trulia claims the neighborhood is “pretty much quiet” and that the crime is minimal:
“neighbours mind their property… there is little crime I hardly hear about any crime here.”
That might reflect localized experiences or perception, possibly in a more stable sub-area within Greensbriar.
Thus, while some subjective accounts downplay crime, the quantitative rankings place Greensbriar among Detroit’s higher-crime neighborhoods.
Violent vs Property Crime
From the Homesnacks source:
Crime type | Estimated rate per 100,000 | Comments |
---|---|---|
Total crime | ≈ 14,981 / 100,000 | Very high relative to national averages |
Violent crime | ≈ 7,057 / 100,000 | Includes assault, robbery, etc. |
Property crime | ≈ 7,924 / 100,000 | Includes burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft |
Trends, Dynamics, and Broader Context
-
Citywide in Detroit, crime (especially violent and property crime) has seen recent declines. The 2024 Year End Stats provided by the City of Detroit report that violent crime dropped ~7% and property crime dropped ~3%.
-
A 2025 AP News article confirms that Detroit saw a substantial drop in homicides in 2024 vs 2023, the lowest in decade, along with declines in nonfatal shootings, robberies, and assaults.
-
These downward trends potentially benefit all neighborhoods, including Greensbriar; however, hyperlocal patterns (i.e. in specific blocks or subregions) may deviate from city averages.
5. Warrendale
Warrendale, with a population of 17,200, is another neighborhood where crime is a daily concern. With a total crime of 14,008 per 100,000 (as per AreaVibes statistics), residents here face a 1 in 8 chance of becoming victims.
It’s not just the crime that’s troubling; it’s the unemployment and lack of opportunities that keep many people stuck.
Warrendale’s homes are some of the most affordable in the city, with a median price of just $17,650. But even in an affordable area, the poverty and danger can be overwhelming. Many residents are simply trying to survive day to day, with limited options for escape.
Total Crime & Relative Danger
-
According to Homesnacks, in a recent year there were 2,567 total crimes in Warrendale.
-
That source estimates a crime rate of ~12,432 per 100,000 people in Warrendale (i.e. ~12.4 % annually), far above national averages.
-
The same source splits that into violent crime ~5,599 / 100 k and property crime ~6,833 / 100 k.
-
AreaVibes reports that Warrendale crime is ~384 % higher than the US average, and violent crime ~1,044 % higher.
-
CrimeGrade gives a “C−” safety grade for Warrendale: crime rate ~48.05 per 1,000 residents in a “typical year.”
-
AreaVibes also suggests that in Warrendale, there is a 1 in 10 chance of being a victim of crime.
Violent Crime & Murder
-
The murder rate is estimated at 0.2325 per 1,000 residents in a “typical year” (≈ 23.25 per 100,000) by CrimeGrade.
-
This corresponds to a chance of murder around 1 in 3,653 in some parts (northwest) to 1 in 5,491 in safer zones (southwest) within the neighborhood.
-
Local reporting: between January 2018 and the mid-2019 period, there were 11 homicides in Warrendale, Detroit News reported.
Property Crime, Theft, Vandalism
-
CrimeGrade estimates the property crime rate ~23.27 per 1,000 residents (≈ 23.3 / 1,000) in a typical year.
-
In terms of raw numbers, the neighborhood is reported to average annually (2017–2021) ~1,548 property crimes and ~383 motor vehicle thefts (in block groups). Augurisk classifies the area’s property crime risk as “severe.”
-
Vandalism also shows up in those same block-group estimates (~383 acts per year) in that period.
4. Fishkorn
Fishkorn is infamous for its violent crime, but what’s more alarming is the number of pedestrian accidents.
Statistics show that this neighborhood, with its crime rate of 12,451 per 100,000 people, has a dangerous mix of poor city planning and high traffic. Walking the streets here can be a real hazard.
With homes priced around $22,662, it’s one of the more affordable places in Detroit, but that affordability comes at a steep cost.
People living in Fishkorn face a 1 in 9 chance of being a crime victim. The incidents range from robberies to shootings, making it a tough place to feel safe, let alone thrive.
Overall Crime Rate
-
According to Homesnacks, Fishkorn’s overall crime rate is ~12,451 incidents per 100,000 people.
-
That same source estimates property crime at ~6,141 per 100,000 and violent crime at ~6,310 per 100,000.
-
AreaVibes claims that crime in Fishkorn is 302% higher than the national average; violent crime is 663% higher.
-
CrimeGrade gives a crime rate of 70.31 per 1,000 residents (i.e. ~70,310 per 100,000) under a “typical year” model.
-
Another CrimeGrade listing (for property crime specifically) reports 35.79 per 1,000 property crimes in Fishkorn.
Because of these multiple methods and scales (annual vs “typical year”, different boundaries, different inclusion of crime types), the numbers vary widely. But the consensus is clear: Fishkorn experiences crime rates well above national and city averages.
Violent Crime
In the CrimeGrade breakdown, the violent crime rate is estimated at 16.92 per 1,000 residents. This includes ~14.34 per 1,000 assault, ~1.266 per 1,000 robbery, ~1.044 per 1,000 rape, ~0.274 per 1,000 murder.
-
On Niche, Fishkorn reports an assault rate of 1,251.3 per 100,000 (vs national ~282.7) and a robbery rate of 270.5 per 100,000 (vs ~135.5).
-
AreaVibes indicates that the chance of being a victim of violent crime is 1 in 37 in Fishkorn.
Property Crime
CrimeGrade lists property crime in Fishkorn as 35.79 per 1,000 residents, broken down as:
- Theft: 25.91 per 1,000
- Vehicle theft: 4.697 per 1,000
- Burglary: 5.016 per 1,000
- Arson: 0.1714 per 1,000
3. Van Steuban
Up in North Detroit, Van Steuban faces similar struggles. The crime rate here sits at 12,742 per 100,000 people, which means a 1 in 7 chance of becoming a victim of crime.
That’s not a number anyone wants to live with. It’s a neighborhood where you’ll see boarded-up buildings, crumbling infrastructure, and a general sense that things have been left behind.
Economically, the situation is grim too. The median home price is around $30,738, and the median income sits just over $34,000.
That’s not a lot to live on, especially in a place where crime rates are so high. People here feel the pressure every day.
Overall Crime Rate & Risk
-
According to Homesnacks, the overall crime rate for Van Steuban is 12,742 per 100,000 people.
-
The same source estimates violent crime rate of 5,625 per 100,000 and property crime rate of 7,117 per 100,000.
-
Areavibes claims that crime rates in Van Steuban are 244% higher than the U.S. average, and violent crimes 552% higher than national average.
-
CrimeGrade reports that Van Steuban’s total crime rate is about 74.72 per 1,000 residents (i.e. ~7,472 per 100,000) in a “typical year.”
-
According to CrimeGrade, Van Steuban ranks in the 9th percentile of U.S. neighborhoods for safety (i.e., ~91% of neighborhoods are safer) with a “D-” grade for crime.
-
CrimeGrade’s property crime estimate specifically is ~36.87 per 1,000 residents (≈ 3,687 per 100,000) in a typical year.
-

-
Augurisk classifies the area as “severe risk” in categories: 83% severe for property crime, 94% severe for vehicle theft, 92% severe for violent crime, and ~84% severe for acts of vandalism.
Violent Crimes & Crime Types
From CrimeGrade’s breakdown (via the “safest places in Van Steuban” page), the violent crime rate is ~18.76 per 1,000 residents (i.e. ~1,876 per 100,000), which they grade as “F” for the violence component.
In that breakdown, component rates include:
- Assault: ~16.30 per 1,000
- Robbery: ~1.166 per 1,000

2. Petosky-Otsego
Petosky-Otsego is another neighborhood grappling with high crime rates. Home to just over 7,000 people, it has a crime rate that’s 262% higher than the national average, as per AreaVibes.
The people here often feel under-protected by law enforcement, and it’s not uncommon to hear locals say they’ve lost hope. The chances of being a crime victim? One in eight. Like Belmont, gang activity is a big issue, but so is the lack of economic opportunity.
The median home price in Petosky-Otsego is a shockingly low $23,667, which is just another indicator of how tough things are.
Many homes are falling into disrepair, and the streets don’t feel safe. Residents often feel trapped in a cycle of poverty and crime.
Violent Crime
According to CrimeGrade, the violent crime rate in Petosky-Otsego is 27.95 per 1,000 residents per year (i.e. ~2,795 per 100,000), a very high rate.

1. Belmont – The Most Dangerous Area In Detroit
At the top of the list lies Belmont. To put it bluntly, it’s the most dangerous places in Detroit right now. The crime rate here? A staggering 14,048 incidents per 100,000 people. To give you some perspective, that’s six times the national average. Plus, Detroit is one of the most dangerous cities in the US, so these stats are even scarier.
For every eight people, at least one is likely to fall victim to crime. What’s causing this? Well, gang activity is a huge part of it. Robberies and assaults happen all the time, and drug-related violence is rampant.
The economic situation doesn’t help either—median home prices are just under $30,000. That low number reflects not only affordability but also a lack of investment.
It’s a place where many people struggle to make ends meet, and unfortunately, crime often follows poverty.
General Crime Level
-
According to Areavibes, Belmont’s crime rates are 453% higher than the national average, and violent crime in Belmont is 1,526% higher than the national average.
-
The same source claims that Belmont has a 1 in 8 chance of being a victim of any crime.
-
CrimeGrade reports a crime rate of about 87.23 per 1,000 residents (≈ 8.7%) in an average year. Belmont ranks in the 5th percentile for safety (i.e. only ~5% of neighborhoods are less safe) under their metric.
-
Areavibes also reports that Belmont had 357 total crimes in the most recent reporting year, converting to about 14,048 per 100,000 people.
Takeaway: Belmont is consistently described in these sources as among “worst / most dangerous” neighborhoods in Detroit with crime levels well above national averages, especially violent crime.
Violent Crime
-
According to HomeSnacks, the violent crime rate in Belmont is ~ 7,622 per 100,000 people.
-
Areavibes gives that in Belmont the chance of violent crime victimization is 1 in 17.
-
Niche reports that Belmont is considered “the #1 most dangerous area in Detroit” with “1 in 8 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime.”
-
Some general narratives (e.g. in “Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in Detroit” listings in NestApple) claim Belmont has particularly high rates of shootings and murder annually.
Takeaway: Detroit remains one of the cities in the United States with the highest murder rates.
Caveats & Variation
-
The 1 in 8 figure is often used for “any crime,” not necessarily violent crime specifically, but some sources conflate them for dramatic effect.
-
Different sources use different boundaries, reporting years, or estimation methods, so the absolute numbers should be treated with caution.
Property Crime
-
CrimeGrade reports property crime in Belmont at 44.86 per 1,000 residents (~ 4.5%) in a typical year.
-
Breakdown of property crime types in Belmont from CrimeGrade: theft ~ 33.41 per 1,000; vehicle theft ~ 4.42; burglary ~ 6.888; arson ~ 0.1459 per 1,000.
-
Homesnacks also gives a property crime figure of 6,426 per 100,000 in their aggregate estimate.
Methodology
- I analyzed crime statistics and socio-economic data for each neighborhood, ensuring the information was accurate and up-to-date for 2024.
- I drew from my personal experience from the years I spent living in Detroit.
Final Thoughts
Detroit has always been a city of contrasts—rich history and culture on one side, and neighborhoods gripped by poverty and crime on the other. The neighborhoods mentioned above represent some of the toughest challenges the city faces in 2024.
From rampant crime to crumbling infrastructure, life in these parts of Detroit is a constant struggle. It’s important to remember that behind these statistics are real people, many of whom are doing their best in extremely difficult circumstances. Police are actively seizing guns in certain areas, hoping to fight crime in any possible way.
While these neighborhoods might be some of the worst in terms of crime, they also serve as a reminder of the urgent need for investment, support, and systemic change in Detroit.
