I have come to understand that inner-city crime can only be addressed zip code by zip code. Crime is hyper-local with spillover effects, but to root out crime one has to go neighborhood by neighborhood. Here is a map of Detroit's POVERTY levels by zip code and here is the link to the source article http://zipatlas.com/.../families-below-poverty-level.htm

Note that the poverty level ranges from high of 39%, which means 39% of residents live below the poverty level, they do not have enough money for food, housing, or basic necessities. This is the Third World level of existence. Whereas, the neighborhoods in purple have a poverty level of 9% which is below the national average. Imagine for a moment living in bright red neighborhoods. More data below to help us imagine what it is like

This is a heat map of crime by zip code. There is almost a one to one match with poverty levels (not surprising). Here is the data source https://www.areavibes.com/detroit-mi/crime/. The next post is incarceration by zip code

Not surprisingly, incarceration per 1000 adults follows almost one-to-one with poverty rates and crime rates. Next up is education levels by zip

In the poorest neighborhoods, almost 60% of 25+ old have education below HS level.

The unemployment rate in zip code 48202 (one of the poorest neighborhoods) is approaching 40% https://www.zipdatamaps.com/48202

In the 48202 zip code children living in poverty is close to 60%. That is, 60% of the children do not have enough to eat. This is an excellent interactive source https://sdc.datadrivendetroit.org/data/map/?table=B17006&geo_ids=06000US2616322000,860
