I 100% agree that a poor black area is more dangerous than a poor white area, and both are more dangerous than a wealthy black area, which isn't as safe as a wealthy white area. Race and poverty both play a role, which is why I'm confused by the point of your OP.

I haven't been to either place in 50 years but growing up in New Iberia, Delcambre was middle class white people and Hopkins St was poor whites and some blacks. The all black neighborhood was Morbihan and they were poor but rural and had very low crime. Lydia had a high population of blacks but they were farmers and they weren't poor.
