@lucius  In Oklahoma City, like any large city, there are areas that may have higher crime rates or other factors that could impact quality of life. It's important to research and consider factors such as safety, schools, amenities, and community atmosphere when choosing where to live. Here are some neighborhoods in Oklahoma City that are often considered less desirable or have higher crime rates:

  1. Capitol Hill: Located south of downtown OKC, Capitol Hill has historically had higher crime rates compared to other parts of the city. It's undergoing revitalization efforts, but some parts may still face challenges.
  2. Northeast OKC (NE 23rd Street area): This area has faced economic challenges and higher crime rates. While there are ongoing efforts to improve the neighborhood, it may not offer the same amenities and safety as other parts of the city.
  3. South Robinson Avenue: Certain parts of South Robinson Avenue have been known for higher crime rates and socioeconomic challenges. It's important to research specific areas within this neighborhood.
  4. Stockyards City: While it has a historic charm and is known for its livestock markets and Western heritage, some parts of Stockyards City may have higher crime rates compared to other areas of the city.
  5. Southeast OKC (near SE 44th Street): This area has seen economic challenges and higher crime rates in some parts. It's important to research specific neighborhoods and consider safety when choosing a place to live.

It's recommended to visit neighborhoods in person, talk to locals, and consult with real estate professionals or local authorities to get a better sense of the area's reputation and any recent developments. Each neighborhood can vary widely in terms of safety and quality of life, so thorough research is key to finding a suitable place to live in Oklahoma City.
