Videos like this be bs! Im born and raised here and it aint like that at all its called a MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS and you'll be fine! Its rough areas in every city but its not like you have to come here and be afraid that's the media telling people that! Same with Chicago they talk about nothing but the bad i went there and thats a beautiful ass city!

Chuck Berry was born and raised in The Ville.

AVOID THE WHOLE CITY ITS FULL OF CRAP.

well why you go these areas anyway? nothing touristy there to see.

AI...🙄

When you can't even pronounce names correctly, you obviously don't know what you are talking about. Instead of being informative, your video is just ignorant. Just stay South of Washington and North of Market while visiting the area between the Arch and Union Station. For night time, only go to the stadiums and surrounding restaurants. When in doubt, just ask at your hotel desk. Always lock your car and don't leave anything of value visible in your car. There are plenty of safe areas like The Magic House, The World Chess Hall of Fame, The Zoo, The Science Center, and City Museum to name a few.

Why do you speak of North St Louis in past tense? It still there😊😂

I have to have in the city at night no problem, I think if you look for trouble you will find it. I have lived all over the world and the people of St Louis are the best. They may fight but still stick together. If you fet the chance its a great place to visit with a small town feel. This video and certain comments are not correct

I go to Old North St Louis about once a week to help a friend who is disabled and the area around his senior citizen housing isn't bad

Yeah, after visiting St. Louis, I realized their lives really don't matter.

Just avoid the city, especially at night. As for the surrounding neighborhoods, if you see white people walking and driving, that’s a good indicator that it’s a safe area.

Anyone can drive through an economically disadvantaged neighborhood with a camera and ramble off statistics you got off line. That does not make you an authority on the subject. These areas you're highlighting are home to 1000's of people who live there and have to make the best of their circumstances.
If you don't live in these areas or have family or friends that you're visiting who live in these areas there's no reason for you to be there.
This in turn make your video really goofy. Are you trying to make mockery of the economically disadvantaged areas in our city or shame the people that live in these areas?
There's no malls in these areas. There's not likely any shopping centers, historical markers or other points of interest in these areas that would appeal to tourists so there's no need for your "warning" video.

St. Louis has by far the highest murder rate in America and is considered the "murder capital of the US 2024". I was homeless in St Louis back in 2008 and let me tell you it was by far the scariest place I have ever lived. People smoking crack right out in the street in broad daylight. I stayed in a homeless shelter one night and on that very night a man was murdered there. I never went to a home with shelter again. It was safer finding a place to hide and sleep or sleeping in an abandoned building. To this day St Louis is not safe. It is better just to avoid the whole place entirely. I live in Rolla now and for such a small town and being a college town at that, the crime rate is still considered fairly high here. Take me back to the '80s please. I was born and raised in New Jersey and I lived in Florida for a long time as well.

The rubble, decay and crime are the fruits of the Civil Rights Act

Just don’t go to St Louis period. A coworker of mine stayed at a hotel several years ago, got their car stolen and trashed and abandoned. It’s a cesspool of lowlife people. Just go somewhere else.

I grew up in st.louis. there where always places we stayed out of.

This is almost racist

I’ve lived in St Louis since 2013 and most of these places I’ve never heard or visited most of these neighborhoods that’s being mentioned in this video…

I have worked downtown St Louis for years. No different than any other Blue City, poorly managed, corruption at the top layers, and insensitive to the plight of the have-nots. Met some wonderful people, met some of the worst, most of the time 2% of the worst people create 98% of the problems. It is sad to compare this city to 60 years ago when I came to watch Cardinal games as a kid. There used to be several problem areas to avoid at night time, but now there are so many that it is a wonder martial law has not been enforced when the sun goes down. Visitors should plan accordingly.

St. Louis would be a hell of a lot safer if those of African descent, you know... went back to Africa!

I LIVED IN ST. LOUIS FOR 60 YEARS. I LEFT 9 YEARS AGO. I LEFT BECAUSE OF CRIME. I LIVED ON LOUGHBOROUGH NEAR 55 FOR NEARLY 35 YEARS. THAT AREA WAS GREAT, NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE. THE SCHNUCKS AND LOWES ARE PLACES TO AVOID IN THE EVENING AND NIGHT. MORE SO ON FRIDAY AND SAT . NITE.

I was born and raised on the south side near carondelet park. My wife and i got out a long time ago. Now living in Park Hills Mo.and love it.

Gravois = pronounced "gra-voy". Not "gra-vwa".

That's stereotyping yes its some bad building s but where you see new homes that's recent and now its not as bad in areas as racist is saying

Grab a map of Missouri take pen and circle St Louis. Don't go there. 😂😂😂

The residence of Patricia and Mark McCloskey on Portland Place ?

Is that included?

Everything here is north of 64/40.
Update, avoid The Patch neighborhood. It's a homeless and drug addict wasteland.

I live close to st louis and i wouldn't live there even if a hole block was giving me

Dont stop in East St. louis (Illinois) Day or night

I have lived here all my life, from south county area, I no longer feel safe in this city, anywhere, St. Louis is a dangerous city, be on your guard At All Times!! North South East or West there’s no safe place

Mariana Krasteva - WORST CITIES in the WORLD Number 6, St. Louis, MO
Mariana is a content strategist and researcher with six years of experience in the security industry. As a marketing specialist at American Security Force, she continually updates her expertise with the latest industry trends and developments, establishing herself as a trusted expert in her field.
Based on homicide rate, the prevalence of organized crime, political corruption, and overall safety concerns, here are ten places that stand out among the 100 most dangerous cities in the world:
1. Zamora, Mexico
Population – 268,818
Homicide rate – 178 per 100,000 inhabitants (as of 2022)
As one of the most violent cities in the world, Zamora regularly gains attention in the media for organized crime, as the city falls victim to various cartels that compete for control over drug production facilities. While the Mexican government is actively attempting to dismantle cartels to prevent drug trafficking, the presence of organized crime is continuing to evoke feelings of fear and unsafety among the city’s inhabitants.
Zamora currently has the highest murder rate in the world and sees a range of other serious crimes, such as kidnappings, shootings, and aggravated assault.
2. Celaya, Mexico
Population – 718,000
Homicide rate – 109 per 100,000 inhabitants
Celaya is known to be the most dangerous place for law enforcement in North America. As the city refused to follow orders from the Mexican president, Andres Manuel López Obrador, to not confront the cartels, Celaya’s police force is being targeted. Police officer murders in the city continue to rise, and cartels are reportedly recruiting younger members, with half of all suspects arrested being ages between 14 and 24 years old.
3. Tijuana, Mexico
Population – 2,297,216
Homicide rate – 134 per 100,000 inhabitants
Another city that suffers from cartel violence in Mexico is Tijuana. As this city borders the US, organized crime groups fight for control over smuggling routes. In 2023, the mayor of Tijuana, Montserrat Cabllaer, was forced to move into an army base after receiving violent threats that occurred after her administration’s efforts to seize weapons and arrest violent suspects.
However, despite high levels of violence, Tijuana’s economy is still growing and attracting foreign investors.
4. Ciudad Obregón, Mexico
Population – 436,484
Homicide rate – 138 per 100,000 inhabitants
Cartel turf wars also impact the Mexican city of Ciudad Obergón. This city regularly experiences shootings between gunmen that often result in the injury or death of bystanders. Reports have also shown a growing trend in organized crime groups hiding the bodies of their victims across the city, potentially lowering the recorded homicide rates.
5. Ciudad Juárez, Mexico
Population – 1,604,000
Homicide rate – 67 per 100,000 inhabitants
Described as the epicenter of violence in Chihuahua, Ciudad Juárez regularly sees waves of homicides and other serious crimes. This is often a result of organized crime, as gangs are engaging in synthetic drug trafficking and recruiting young people to join their war against the city’s government.
6. St Louis, United States of America
Population – 272,673
Homicide rate – 66 per 100,000 inhabitants
With the highest murder rate in the US, St Louis is a highly dangerous city that is fueled by gun violence. The city’s limited gun control measures and high levels of juvenile crime contribute to feelings of unease among residents.
However, the city’s government is actively implementing public safety initiatives to make St Louis a safer place to live and visit. This includes passing bills to regulate the open carry of guns and providing mentorship programs to aid those in the city’s marginalized communities.
7. Caracas, Venezuela
Population – 2,991,727
Homicide rate – 90 per 100,000 inhabitants
Many areas in Caracas are associated with high crime levels, even popular tourist attractions. Gang members often target areas with minimal police presence to rob victims at gunpoint. Another common crime in this city includes ‘express kidnapping,’ a type of opportunistic abduction where a victim is held while the criminals use their bank cards to withdraw money. Once all money is stolen from the victim, they are usually released.
8. Natal, Brazil
Population – 751,300
Homicide rate – 75 per 100,000 inhabitants
Natal, the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, is Brazil’s most dangerous city. Deaths as a result of violent crimes are rising, and gang presence is widespread. Incidents of arson, burglary, and armed robberies continue to shake the city’s residents.
It’s believed by authorities that imprisoned gang leaders are orchestrating the attacks to protest inhumane living conditions. It’s also been reported that inmates in the state’s prisons are subject to torture, overcrowding, and various psychological punishments.
9. Feira de Santana, Brazil
Population – 556,080
Homicide rate – 63 per 100,000 inhabitants
Another highly dangerous city in Brazil is Feira de Santana. This city is home to many businesses and has emerged as a central hub for commercial activities in the state of Bahia. However, this has led to an increase in drug trafficking, among other gang-related criminal activity. Residents in the city regularly report crimes such as aggravated assault, car theft, and armed robbery.
10. Cape Town, South Africa
Population – 4,890,000
Homicide rate – 63 per 100,000 inhabitants
Cape Town struggles with poverty and drug abuse, which contribute to the city’s prevalent crimes. Armed robberies, burglaries, and carjacking are much more common in this city compared to most other places in South Africa.
Along the Western side of the city, gang-related violence is also widespread, where homicides, shoot-outs, and other crimes pose a significant risk to residents. Even tourists have been reportedly captured and murdered in Cape Town, and the city has been labeled as a ‘no-go zone’ in countries such as the UK

Well if the mayor and the city leaders gave a crap about anything north of Delmar it would be a better city. You can literally see the line of demarcation from the U. City Loop all the way down to the central west end.

Basically the entire city area, avoid. If you need to be in the city go to Union Station, or downtown riverfront by the Arch, and stay in groups, take taxis, dont walk if you need to go a few blocks I worked at Jefferson and OLive street for thirty years, which is on the edge of downtown, even that was sketchy

You named all those areas but one fact remains, I’m 60 and grew up in St. Louis as my family did and don’t appreciate the bad rap you’ve given. Yeah it’s some bad areas but every city has that not just St. Louis

It's actually pronounced grav-oy. I know it's spelled gravois. It's very common for people to mispronounce street names from st louis. It actually drives us st louis residents crazy.

I have live here for 68 years. South side. Gravois park. And I can tell you. This is bullshit. Yes our neighborhood has crime, but so does Festus mo. And park hills mo. The only difference between my great city and these small towns. They're able to sweep their crap under the carpet. This guy making this vedio, I'm positive, has never been here.

I think we all know what the problem is with those parts of town.

This is not exactly fair to St. Louis, especially Grand Center Arts district.

I'm from here. If u leave people alone you won't get messed with. But if u poke the hive I promise u will get stung very bad.

Wessssss up good fellas STL

Missouri a red state. What do you think they would post. Not their neighborhood

I hope in the future when you post things you honestly do so. Most likely you grew up in a area that has been stricken with drugs. Which most areas has. But we all know some people way of life is hidden from the public. The truth always prevail

North stlouis was decade by drugs which was brought in by white businessmen who wanted to take it over. The house were well built and that's what they knew. The south side was the same. The Southside has been taken over by white companies and most people of color has been priced out. Most city dwelling has or will be only white owned property. Don't get fooled. It's about property value. Most city houses are built better than county areas. Fact.

Been here for 12 years....originally from a small town in New Mexico. When I tell you I got used to the gun shots outside my job and learned to ride home on fumes because I refused to stop for gas at certain places or at night...man

Yes St Louis is both a beautiful place, but anywhere downtown after dark is dangerous. I am a life long St Louis native, I love this area and its people. But like anywhere you go you must be careful danger masks itself in the mundane, smiling faces can pretend to be your friend. So be careful where you go, and what time of day it is.

😂 u need to do your homework better, by the way Gravois is not pronounced like you said.

Who in the world can come to Kristi park as soon as the night falls. Only Bosnians.
