Keep your belongings close and the pepper spray handy if you plan to trek to the city's near West side.
Chicago (http://www.nbcchicago.com/topics?topic=Chicago)'s United Center Park earned a No.1 rank in the top 25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in the United States (http://www.nbcchicago.com/topics?topic=United+States), according to a report on (http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2010/10/04/25-most-dangerous-neighborhoods-2010/)
The results are based on exclusive data generated by NeighborhoodScout.com (http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/) and FBI metrics culled from local law enforcement agencies. Drilling down to the neighborhood level allows for fewer generalizations, the report says. The site, however, does show a list of the most dangerous cities as well. No cities in Illinois make that top-100 list. (http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/crime-rates/top100dangerous/)
According to the info, anyone walking down :: Lake Street between Damen and Western has a 1 in 4 chance of being a victim of a crime (http://www.neighborhoodscoutreports.com/reports/4d7bcf08b7daa0dd0eb65df9cfbc9890/0/crime).:: Those who choose to live there face the same odds with the chances of being robbed.
The Windy City nabe steals the not-so-hot-top-spot from a Cincinnati (http://www.nbcchicago.com/topics?topic=Cincinnati) neighborhood, which earned the dishonor last year in the survey's first run. This year the Cincy locale took second, followed by two neighborhoods in Las Vegas (http://www.nbcchicago.com/topics?topic=Las+Vegas) and a neighborhood in Atlanta (http://www.nbcchicago.com/topics?topic=Atlanta).
