There are too many stereotypes about Syracuse’s areas to list them all. In every city, there are ghettos, hipster neighborhoods, elite neighborhoods, and neighborhoods where college students do well. In Syracuse, it looks like there’s a town for everyone.
Syracuse is often ranked as one of the best places to live in New York because there are so many things to do and jobs available. But life isn’t always flowers and sunshine there. Some parts of town are not as safe as others.
Now the question is, which parts of Syracuse are the best and which are the most dangerous? Today, we’ll use Saturday Night Science to find the “sore thumbs” of the Syracuse area so that we can give them some extra love and care. Truth be told, you can’t expect every neighborhood to be great, but Sedgewick is by far the best.

Study to find the most dangerous neighborhoods in Syracuse, NY
It wasn’t hard to figure out which places are bad to live in; we just had to find out what people like and which places have the least of those things. This is what we put into Saturday Night Science to find the worst areas in Syracuse:
- High crime (Estimated)
- High unemployment (Less jobs)
- Low median income (Less pay)
- Low population density (No things to do)
- Low home values (No one’s willing to pay to live here)
After that, we put each area in Syracuse, New York, in order from worst to best based on these factors. Next, we took the average of the scores for each category and came up with a “Worst Score.” Out of all the neighborhoods in Syracuse, the one with the lowest “Worst Score” is the safest.
The piece gives an opinion based on facts and is meant to be fun and interesting. This page has been changed for 2024. We spent a lot of time making this list of the worst places to live in Syracuse.
