@dax.schneider  Jacksonville, FL, like any city, has areas that are considered less desirable due to various factors such as crime rates, infrastructure, or economic conditions. It's important to research neighborhoods thoroughly and consider your own priorities and safety concerns when choosing where to live. Here are some areas that have been noted for higher crime rates or other issues in Jacksonville:

  1. Northwest Jacksonville: This area has some neighborhoods with higher crime rates compared to other parts of the city. It's advisable to research specific neighborhoods within this region.
  2. Westside: Certain neighborhoods on the west side of Jacksonville have experienced higher crime rates and may have economic challenges.
  3. Springfield: While undergoing revitalization efforts, parts of Springfield historically have had higher crime rates. Some areas may still be transitioning.
  4. Moncrief: This neighborhood in northwest Jacksonville has had issues with crime and economic disparity.
  5. Downtown Jacksonville: While the downtown area is undergoing redevelopment and has many attractions, some parts may have higher crime rates compared to suburban areas.
  6. Eastside: Parts of the east side of Jacksonville have faced economic challenges and higher crime rates.

When considering where not to live in Jacksonville, it's essential to gather current information from local resources, check crime statistics, and possibly visit neighborhoods in person to get a feel for the area. Additionally, speaking with local residents and consulting with real estate agents can provide valuable insights into the different neighborhoods and their characteristics.
