So, You're Asking About the "Uh Oh" Zones?
We hear you. Here's the lowdown on some Milwaukee neighborhoods that tend to make the "crime rate" headlines a bit more often:
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
The "North Star" Award: North Division takes the crown (or maybe the cheese curd) for the highest crime rate. It's best to admire its architectural gems from a safe distance... unless you're packing serious survivalist skills (and maybe a Brewers jersey for good measure).
Don't Let the Name Fool You: Franklin Heights might sound charming, but it's another area with a higher crime rate. Franklin? More like "Frank-ly avoid this area after dark" if you're looking for a stroll.
Park it Somewhere Else: Park West and Garden Homes also tend to show up on the "less-than-ideal" crime stat reports. Just remember, these are neighborhoods, not amusement parks, so maybe skip the popcorn.
But Hey, Here's the Good News!
Milwaukee has a ton of fantastic areas! Check out these gems:

The Safe Bets: Wauwatosa, West Allis, and Whitefish Bay are consistently ranked among the safest neighborhoods. So, if you're looking for peace, quiet, and a lower chance of someone "borrowing" your cheese curds, these are your spots.
The "I'm Hipster Yet Safe" Zones: Bay View and East Side offer a cool vibe with a lower crime rate. Think trendy shops, craft breweries, and a sense of security that won't make you clutch your kringle like a lifeline.
Important Disclaimer:
Crime can happen anywhere, so staying alert and using common sense is always a good call, no matter where you are in Milwaukee.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
