If you stay within the city limits, Detroit probably qualifies. The north side is Highland Park, the south side is a place called Canada.
Knoxville also. All sides get seedy except for west.
I’ve never been to Vegas, but almost every episode of “Cops” I’ve seen includes a segment filmed in North Las Vegas.
Though that may be a separate jurisdiction and not just the northern part of town…
Baltimore, along with the south, east, and west sides.
Indianapolis. If you look at the “where the murders were” map, there’s quite a cluster in the near northeast side. Farther north, it’s pretty calm.
Winnipeg’s “North End” has traditionally been home to immigrants to the city. It’s always had a colourful reputation.
Birmingham, Alabama. North and west are the worst areas.
North Las Vegas is a separate city.
Getting back to the topic, in Spokane the South Hill is considered the ritzier area of town while the rougher neighborhoods are to the north and to the east.
Not to mention Paradise.
North Fort Myers used to be very bad but I haven’t been there in quite a while. I moved out the same day a guy three houses down from me walked out into the street and began firing at random. No one was hurt but it was scary as hell.
Yeah, but it’s the south side of the Bronx. The north side of the Bronx is mostly either middle class (Eastchester, Woodlawn, Pelham) or upper class (Riverdale), though there are some lower class enclaves like Wakefield. In general, the northernmost part of New York, the North Bronx, can’t be considered the “rough part of town.”
Houston. Houston has a number of rough parts, but I’d say the northern areas like Greenspoint and Acres Homes have the worst reps.
My beloved St. Louis has a number of areas that are considered rough. The north side seems to see the most shootings.
Pittsburgh’s North Side has it’s good points and bad points, but generally speaking most people would claim that they wouldn’t want to live there.
The areas that ARE rough are in the north parts of the city. The south part of the city is the lake, which is prime real estate.
Tijuana’s north and eastern sides have always been the rougher part of it.
Tepito, the worst part of Mexico City, is on the northern end of it also. It’s technically more closer to the center but its considered the northern end by most.
Flint Michigan as well
In L.A. it’s probably as confused as it gets because of all the cities jumbled into one population center. Ah, let’s put it this way: L.A. definitely is the rough part of Orange County. (Come to that, the northern side of O.C. is probably the rough part of O.C.)
Count Tulsa, OK in this category, too…the city’s growing south and east.
The north side of Orange County consists of Brea, La Habra, and Yorba Linda. All of which are by no means “rough.” If anything, the rougher parts of Orange County are the central cities like Santa Ana and Anaheim, with some parts of Garden Grove, mostly the eastern end.
In L.A. County, the north side of Long Beach would be considered the rough side because it borders the south end of Compton.
