True. 90% of the time it's not random people getting shot up, and most people who get robbed there usually put themselves into that situation by being in certain areas at the wrong hours. Of course there are some innocent people who get caught in crossfire or get robbed in broad daylight, but that happens in every city. I'd rather kick it in West Oakland than the Tenderloin or Hunter's Point in SF, that's for sure

Where exactly in Oakland? I'm surprised that Oakland was this high...I've known of the city's notorious crime rate but I've personally never had any problems ever since I was young.Originally Posted by wcghost
moving here at the end of this month.
Fruitvale area. My pops bought a dirt cheap, former grow-house lot (5000 sqft.) for $108K
NICE... check for mold and other crazy things that come from former grow spots... Fruitville's great for tacos.. Its not the greatest place now but I think within the next 5 to 10 years all the hipsters will try to move in and you guys could come up!
Oakland for the most part is awesome.. It has culture... The bar scene in downtown is getting pretty good.. right by frisco and berkeley which are also awesome... Rich and super hood spots... gotta love the diversity

DEAD at Fruitvale is good for Tacos.
You definitely right though.
And I can easily see the hipsters migrating east and settling in Fruitvale once they're done taking over the West and Downtown/Uptown.

It's a pretty decent amount of street diplomacy out there, but it still ain't nothin' nice.
Sure if you carry yourself properly, you prolly be iight. But just the fact that you gotta make sure you got a solid demeanor to protect your safety is bad.
Besides, Oakland got a ridiculous crime rate overall. Non violent too. All sorts of hungry animals out there.

Thanks, yeah me & my pops already tore down the previous foundations and built a new house & 17 koi fish ponds on our lot. Put our blood, sweat and tears into the place, but its finally looking proper. i just got a new job in the city, so the 2 block walk to BART is also appreciated.Originally Posted by Dalek

And you already know.......late night Taco Truck runs to El Novillo (the one in front of Taqueria Guadalajara) & Tacos Sinoloa are staples!
I'm literally two blocks away, right behind the Home Depot/24hr:

After reading, shouldn't this be for 2011 not this year? I mean this year is barely half done and yet there's a top 5? Plus all the data is based on last year.
No offense but I was expecting the Chi to be on the list, I know they top 10.

Those Top _____ lists are always hit or miss but more msis because every city/state doesn't record their data the same way and some don't even keep starts of certain things while others do or maybe they classify them differently. Like everyone else said, no Chicago already makes the list sketchy since their one random weekend in the summer murder rate #@@@ on many cities yearly.

That is a real good spot. Even though it's in the East, Fruitvale really ain't that bad. Although my friend's store at Fruitvale Station did get robbed at gunpoint last month.
Close to BART and Tacos Sinaloa and the freeway

I work on the border of Richmond and San Pablo and Richmond is one of the grimiest places I've been to. I'm much more comfortable in Oakland than Richmond.

Sad to say I saw one of those murders go off in Oakland. I was visiting family over there and stayed at my cousins place. We went out for drinks and when we came home around 2am police cars and number cards scattered all over right outside my cousins condo. I was born there but im never coming back.

Been there a couple years ago...you couldn't pay me to go back. Same with Tijuana
But as stated before, all these cities have one thing in common. The economies are terrible. My family is from a city called Ad Douaim in Sudan and it has the highest murder rate in all of Sudan. Why? Because it is also among the poorest regions in the country.
On another note I never understood peoples pride in their cities crime rate. I would be straight ashamed of it as my pops is about his hometown in Sudan

This. These lists and any other such comparisons between cities are based on violent crime rates, which helps control for population differences, not simply numbers of incidents...
