I Drove Through The WORST Neighborhood In Los Angeles. This Is What I Saw.

Wow Los Angeles has some bad areas!
For this video, I drove to the south side of Los Angeles County - as far south within the county limits as you can get, actually. The goal was to witness the worst neighborhood in Los Angeles firsthand. I entered LA on the city’s far south end, along the coast, in the Los Angeles harbor region. The industrial landscape smelled of chemicals, and was eerily desolate. It was Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at 11 am
The LA neighborhood of Wilmington is well known among people who grew up in Southern California. Not many have been here - but it’s notorious for news reports and pop culture lore. The type of place Long Beach rappers talked about in the 90s. This neighborhood has racked by crime and poverty for decades. Wilmington is about 9 square miles big, bordered by Long Beach and Carson. There are about 50,000 people in this hood - big enough that it would be a fairly large city in some states.
To get a good look at Wilmington, I’ll be generally driving north up Avalon Blvd, which splits the neighborhood in half. I’ll criss cross various side streets to give you some perspective on what the area is like.
Most of the Wilmington neighborhood is poor - folks earn about $15k a year each annually, which is really low - even for Los Angeles. 2 in 3 people here rent their home.
87% of Wilmington is hispanic, which is a huge difference from what this neighborhood was like back in 1990 when this area was 40% black. Gangs have always been a problem here, but gang activity peaked decades ago - back in the late 1990s there would be 40 gang related killings in this neighborhood each year. There’s still a lot of gang activity here these days, just less so.
Crime rates are nearly triple the national average in this part of Los Angeles. To make matters worse, the air pollution in this neighborhood is terrible, because it’s just blocks away from oil refineries. In fact, Wilmington sits on top of the third largest oil field in the country. That’s correct - right here in south Los Angeles, next to a bunch of ports, railyards and distribution centers along the LA Harbor is a large oil field.
On many Wilmington blocks, there’s either a liquor store, a fast food restaurant, a rundown school or a dirty park.
Anyways, I’ll continue the drive so you can take a look and judge the area for yourself. The worst neighborhood in Los Angeles.

@DeflatingAtheism
@DeflatingAtheism 3 года назад
It's supply and demand. In even the worst neighborhoods in greater L.A., you'll see very few vacancies. In Detroit, entire blocks are abandoned. Since the demand for houses outstrips the supply, a bungalow in Compton will probably cost what a mansion costs in Georgia. If Newsom and Garcetti continue in their idiotic policies, however, you'll probably see those abandoned houses popping up very soon.

Isn’t that because it’s just bad streets? In California were so stacked on each other you see the bad and good in every city. Long Beach has signal hill, LA has million dollar lofts a mile away from skid row. Orange County has Anaheim and Santa Ana, Riverside county has gated communities in the hills that are worth millions of dollars per a home. I grew up in Los Alamitos and most the population is super rich but a few streets are just apartments and the income variable is huge! I think every city and county has the bad and good parts and I don’t think people in other states can understand our dynamic.(other than New York City. SoCal is just a big NYC)

I grew up in Wilmington. There are nicer parts and it wasn’t bad growing up there. It’s the Heart of the Harbor. Many families whose parents worked on the docks and terminal Island have inherited their parents homes and have updated and made neighbors better. Yes many changes since I moved away in 1990. The gangs back then and maybe presently were Hispanic. You should have driven around Banning Park area were there are nicer homes.

True ! Homes remodled all the time. New Houses being built in previous vacant lots. I've lived in Wilmington all my life. Our weather cannot be beat. Better than 95%+ of the rest of Socal. By the way, the average Wilmington, CA home price is between $600,000 to $700,000+ in the last year. ( as per Red Fin Realty). The most affordable of most any Socal coastline community. World class beaches nearby. Cool summer breezes most days, while inland LA Metro areas, Valleys, and IE, sadly swelter.

Wilmington is also close to SoCal beaches like Cabrillo, Torrance, Redondo, Long Beach, and Hermosa Beaches. Our weather is mostly very nice, and NOT as polluted as other areas inland. Cool summer ocean breezes and cooler summer nights are the norm. The LA Harbor is banning all forms of Harbor related fossil fuel engines. It will be all electric soon. Things are lovely in Wilmington most of the time and getting better. A waterfront park has been completed, and now extended right to the Harbor water.

There's a sign when you enter the neighborhood of Wilmington that reads "Welcome to Wilmington, heart of the harbor". We use to say more like the "fart" of the harbor, because of the strong smell there. Also Wilmington is where the first Der Weinerschnizzel opened up. Its not the worst neighborhood in LA as far as crime goes, South LA is the worst. As far as quality of life goes, it's the worst with the pollution.

Nothing compares to going to red west pizza in the summer with my friends to play video games and get some pizza, if we had any money, lol. the area in between harbor park and harbor college was once vacant land, we built bmx tracks and would get in to all kinds of craziness. i learned to speak Spanish as a kid and that has helped me make a lot of friends i wouldnt have otherwise. much respect for hispanc culture and their love of family.

Had friends who would go to a junkyard Wilmington in the late 90s to score shit I didnt fuck with. Went with them ONCE out of curiosity. Ive been all over the LA area at all hours. Nothing ever raised my heart rate like the junkyard in Wilmington
