Hooray for Kansas City! Two KCMO neighborhoods ranked in the top 10 most violent neighborhoods in America. A site called Wallet Pop ranked “the 25 neighborhoods with the highest predicted rates of violent crime in America” by using FBI data and data from the site NeighborhoodScout.com.

And 41st Street and Forest Avenue, which ranked eighth, …
The site says people living in the 41st Street and Forest Avenue neighborhood have a one in eight chance of becoming a crime victim. The site also predicts 240 violent crimes in a year.
