Here Are The 9 Most Dangerous Places In Cleveland After Dark
By and large, Cleveland is a wonderful city full of wonderful people. That said, no place is perfect, and the Forest City has its share of problems. Visiting and exploring everything Cleveland has to offer can be an amazing, unforgettable experience, but just be sure to take precautions and avoid stumbling through these nine neighborhoods late at night.
One of Cleveland's oldest and most storied neighborhoods, St. Clair is also home to an alarming property crime rate.
While it's hard to deny that Wade Park is a beautiful place to visit by day, its relative isolation makes it a dangerous place to spend time at night.
Once home to Cleveland's booming industrial centers, the Flats are now largely abandoned, inviting a characteristically high crime rate.
Hough is a neighborhood with a troubled history - the infamous Hough riots in 1966 gave the area a bad image that it still struggles to shake.
Clark-Fulton boasts not only a high property crime rate but a disturbing trend towards more violent crimes, including a fairly recent unsolved murder.
The many businesses and restaurants in Superior make for an excellent day trip, but the area becomes somewhat more sinister after dark.
Little Italy is one of Cleveland's most charming tourist attractions, but its popularity also inspires a high rate of property crimes like petty theft and car robbery.
Cleveland's first suburb is a hotbed of criminal activity at night. Reports suggest that everything from grand theft to gang activity are fairly prevalent in the area.
Scovill Avenue was named the second most dangerous neighborhood in America according to NeighborhoodScout.com last year.
As off-putting as some of these spots might sound, don’t let that distract you from just how nice Cleveland can be. Do any of these choices surprise you?
