25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods list includes two in Dallas
Two Dallas neighborhoods -- Route 352/Scyene Road and 2nd Avenue/Hatcher Street (both of which are located south of Fair Park and are within blocks of each other) -- have made the list of the 25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in the U.S. Rankings were based on the number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents. No other Texas neighborhoods made the list.

Apparently this was a list developed by <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/insurance/most-dangerous-neighborhoods">WalletPop.com</a>, a financial website, using FBI data.

That WalletPop link says it was <a href="http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/crime-rates/">Neighborhood Scout</a> that did the reports from FBI data.
At any rate, I'm temped to summarize it by saying that "Pleasant Grove has the worst crime in the country", just to watch Rawlins flip out.

Ah, I think you're right, Alex. Looks like NS took the FBI data and attributed it to specific neighborhoods, then WP ranked the "worst" neighborhoods from that data.
Let's call the whole thing off.
