Much of our crime in Metro Detroit comes from the poor areas. It is no different than many other urban areas in the USA.

You will learn that the cities of Detroit, Pontiac, Highland Park, Ecorse, River Rouge, and Inkster will have higher crime rates, and poorer schools. Home values are lower in these areas. You will be able to differentiate what are good cities to live in by talking to a local insurance agent. Insurance rates are higher in cities with higher crime rates. You can also check the local school rankings. Better areas usually have better schools. What you will also learn is that cities that border these higher crime areas have higher crime rates because some of the residents of these high crime cities branch out to close cities. What I mean by this is they will jump on the highway to a nearby city, commit a crime close to the expressway. Then they jump back on the expressway or main road to go back to their high crime city.
