    Regarding crime rankings: The St. Louis statistics that put them so high on the list are probably for the entire metro area, which extends across the river into Illinois.

    East St. Louis is a perpetually blighted area with a consistently high murder rate. The combination of joblessness and drug and gang activity — plus a political system that has historically ranked among the most fantastically broken and corrupt in America — combine to create an area that would give the Baltimore of THE WIRE or the Detroit of the movie THE CROW a run for their money. As with both those cities, there are in real life many good people there as well … but plenty of bad as well.

    John Carpenter filmed ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK there, using burned-out factory buildings to capture a vision of a post-apocalyptic Big Apple. Large areas are abandoned and so heavily contaminated by past industrial use that it makes redevelopment all but impossible. In 2006, publisher Morgan Quitno offered these comparisons between East St. Louis and the national average on the six violent crimes it uses for ranking cities:

    Murder – 20x national average
    Rape – 8x national average
    Robbery – 7x national average
    Assault – 17x national average
    Burglary – 3x national average
    Car theft – 4x national average

    (I’m rounding those off. This is from the Wikipedia entry on East St. Louis.)

    Basically, everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong there, including a flight out of the area by most who could afford to go — leaving the tax base so decimated that the sewers failed at one point in the ’70s, fire departments went on strike, and police cars that stopped working couldn’t be repaired for long periods of time.
