Top 100 Most Dangerous Cities in the U.S.
Our research reveals the 100 most dangerous cities in America with 25,000 or more people, based on the number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents. Violent crimes include murder, rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault. Data used for this research are 1) the number of violent crimes reported to have occurred in each city, and 2) the population of each city.
This year’s most dangerous city is in Alabama. Last year’s most dangerous city, Monroe, LA, makes the list again this year for the sixth time in the last seven years, coming in as America’s 3rd most dangerous city. Chelsea, Massachusetts, after being on the NeighborhoodScout most dangerous cities list for years, has fallen off the list. High real estate prices in neighboring Boston are partly to blame, driving prices up in Chelsea, and crime down. The community has been revitalizing rapidly.
Newark, NJ is also getting safer. Like Chelsea is close to Boston, Newark is close to New York City. Newark has gone from 30th most dangerous city in the U.S. in 2015, to 51st in 2016, 55th in 2017, 85th in 2018, to 96th this year. If this trend continues, Newark could be off the list completely by next year.

Memphis is a lot larger which means more trash.
It also means more redeeming areas. Most large cities come with good and bad parts.
Like someone said earlier, Jackson is just so depressing. Memphis doesn't belong on its level.

Exactly. Any city of decent size (Memphis for example) will have some interesting aspects and probably decent areas in/surrounding the city.
Even on a smaller level, that's usually the case. Jackson is notable because it doesn't have those things, it's a through and through shithole

Litter certainly has to be a component of trashy. Maybe not the primary driver, but trashiness would go way down in NOLA if it just had fewer big gulp cups in the gutters, McD bags floating in the canals, beer cans on the front yard, etc.

Please define "Major" b/c both cities you named aren't major.

All those things were on top of the trashiness of the people of the area

Jackson, MS was the first city that came to mind

I'm trying to figure out how many major cities are in the south. There certainly aren't many and almost every one listed in the thread so far wouldn't qualify.

SIAP, bu there are only a few "major" cities in the south.
Atlanta
Charlotte
Nashville
New Orleans
Tampa
Miami
Therefore, it has to be one of those.

Jacksonville is bigger than Tampa and Miami.
And trashier...

You probably need to add Memphis. Virtually the same population as Nashville.
Many will argue that Miami and Tampa aren't true "southern" cities. Culturally, they're right.

While true the Miami metro population is over 3X that of Jacksonville and the Tampa metro population is 2X that of Jacksonville.

Jacksonville is one of the biggest cities in the US when it comes to land mass, but the population disqualifies it. I'd agree with adding Memphis to the list.

First two that came to mind were Jackson and Memphis. Memphis by St Jude is shady as shite.

Truth is the truth and facts are facts. What’s even better is those facts cannot be refuted because they are the absolute truth. Too bad and I do not give a frick if that bothers you or anyone else.
