Here Are The 10 Most Dangerous Towns In Kentucky To Live In

 

I'm not sure of some of these, but one observation...if you're going to have Louisville as the most dangerous, why would you use a picture of one of the least dangerous areas? :lol2: Anyway...is your town on there? What do you think?

Anything could happen in the Highlands, Rockmom. There could be young professionals ordering tapas at the LouVino wine bar. There could be teenagers congregating outside the Graeters. My goodness there could even be hipsters swilling PBR at The Hideaway.

 

IT'S A REAL HELLSCAPE OUT THERE AT BARDSTOWN ROAD AND EASTERN PARKWAY, ROCKMOM.

Georgetown, Frankfort, Versailles and Somerset? Man if those are some of the most violent places to live in KY, then we truly are blessed. I have lived and work in Frankfort, live right down the road from Versailles. I have to say, calling these places "violent" would be like calling Milli/Vanilli "gangster rap". I'd have no problem at all living in any of those four communities.

I've heard a lot of complaints that this website doesn't exactly always have accurate or up-to-date information.

 

With that being said, I'd have no problems living just about anywhere on that list.

Ah, yes. The mean streets of Georgetown.

Did I miss where Covington was on the list???

I seen Fort Thomas and Independence are in the top 10 safest.

I hear ya! My early morning walks back in the day, when I would have to constantly dodge those thuggish joggers and runners, and Birkenstock wearing aged hippies...I don't know how I survived!

 

And, technically, Louisville is 2 of the 10 on that list. Shively is in Louisville Metro. I know, I know...it's like J-Town..but it's all folded in together. And when I think of Frankfort, Versailles, and Georgetown, I think of them as "Lexington Metro", although I realize they're not. :lol2:

Did I miss where Covington was on the list???

 

Covington has a few dangerous neighborhoods but always felt the suburban people of NKY thought it was way more dangerous than it really was. South Covington , Monte Casino , Wallace Woods , Peaselburg, Austinburg and Latonia are all fine places to live.

 

West Covington , Latonia Terrace , City Heights and Jacob Price not so much.

Covington has some strange city limits.

 

Way back in the day my son was some kind of "Kentucky academic ambassador" in high school. Had to go to a library with a Covington address to so some presentation.

 

Seems like we drove for miles and miles away from the river to get there.

Whew. Bardstown didn't make the list with its unsolved murders and an active missing persons case.

Good to see Fort Thomas number one safest, Chief Mike Daly and his men do a nice job. Congratulations to Independance on being at the top also, particularly given the growth out that way. Good things happening in So Kenton Co.

Not surprised with Newport in the top ten, but I find it hard to believe Covington isn't ranked higher in crime then Newport. Lived around here all my life, always felt Newport was safer than Covington, unless you want to go back to the "sin city" days.

Not sure of the stats but my dad used to be a regular gambling visitor in the late 40's to mid 50's. He said he always felt safe.

My dad was a fireman, knew a lot of the guys in organized crime. Most of the violent stuff that went on were people that got beat up for griping about losing money, the really violent crimes were committed against those stupid enough to cross the gangsters. That being said, with the prostitution and illegal gambling that went on, crime was very high.
