This is the most dangerous part of the whole state of Oklahoma! In this video, I drove through the worst neighborhoods in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The consensus among crime report data, poverty data and word of mouth is that the worst parts of the Tulsa metro area are in North Tulsa, in a particular set of neighborhoods along Martin Luther King Dr Blvd. So that was the direction I would head. It was a miserable day - an overcast sky and highs in the low 40s. The day was Saturday, November 28, 2020 at about 2 pm. As a whole, Tulsa has a crime rate that鈥檚 far above the national average. But the north side of Tulsa is responsible for more than its fair share of crime. In addition, the poverty levels in North Tulsa are the worst of this city鈥檚 regions - in many areas we鈥檒l see, half of the households live in poverty. North Tulsa is home to high crime rates, poverty, large amounts of drug use and gang activity. However, because it was mid afternoon, most of the criminal element was still indoors. Murders, robberies and sex crimes happen here more frequently than in other parts of this city of 400,000. It is truly one of the most economically depressed areas in the region. Besides the massive number of vacant and rundown homes, this part of Tulsa also has a majority of this city鈥檚 public housing projects. North Tulsa became geographically separated from the rest of the city with the construction of I-244, isolating the poorer members of the community from the heart of Tulsa. With the construction of the housing projects in North Tulsa, many working class folks fled due to fear of criminal activity. This led to an even further decline of North Tulsa. Homes in this part of Tulsa average around $100,000. As you鈥檒l see, many are rundown, abandoned, boarded up or just poorly maintained. We鈥檒l now enter the worst neighborhoods in Tulsa, in an area called Valley View, an area with an undisputed reputation throughout the state of Oklahoma. Homes in this part of Tulsa average around $100,000. Many were rundown, abandoned, boarded up or just poorly maintained. #tulsa #oklahoma You can buy my music here: iTunes: https://music.apple.com/us/album/state-songs-an-album/1523790725 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Nick_Johnson_State_Songs_An_Album?id=Byfshzyrbjldelqferxc6vijljm&hl;=en_US Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/albums/B08D3G43VR This channel is about America!
