Motown is the worst in the country when it comes to violent crime, with an annual rate of 1,251 crimes for every 100,000 residents. Unemployment in the area is below the double-digit rates it hit in the early 1990s, but at 8.5% over the past three years, it is still the second-highest in the country among the 150 largest metro areas

#10=Providence R.I. If I lived in Providence, I would be conflicted. Sure we're bad, but at least we're not Detroit.
