Detroit is quite Ghetto. I hear move violence stories from there than I do from NYC or LA or Chicago at times.

Paterson, Newark and Passaic NJ. All tied.

I can't find any confirmation on the Web, but I recall reading that the cities with the largest disparities in wealth were mostly in South America. So the 'largest ghetto city' is probably Buenos Aries or Mexico City or Sao Paulo.

Watts in Los Angelas, Cal.

since I havnt seen any others I will have to say Baltimore, Md. since I've gone through there a few times.

Baghdad was quite nice a while back, they never even heard of the word "Ghetto", then the Americans came and said: "Hey! we bring you Democracy and will make your Cities like ours!", an so it came to be.

Probably Calcutta.But don´t forget that there are poors everywhere including the so called rich countries.

A ghetto is described as a "portion of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure". The term 'Ghetto' was originally used to refer to the Venetian Ghetto in Venice, Italy where Jews were forced to live. The word "ghetto" actually means "foundry" in Italian, a reference to a foundry located on the same island as the area of Jewish confinement.The corresponding German term was Judengasse known as the Jewish Quarter. The term came into widespread use in Ghettos in occupied Europe 1939-1944 where the Jews were required to live prior to their transportation to concentration and death camps. The term "ghetto" still has a similar meaning, but referring to broader range of social situations, such as any poverty-stricken urban area. Ghetto is formed in three ways: * As ports of entry for racial minorities, and immigrant racial minorities. * When the majority uses compulsion (typically violence, hostility, or legal barriers) to force minorities into particular areas. * When the majority is willing and able to pay more than the minority to live with its own kind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto My vote is MUMBAI, INDIA !!!

I've been to areas of South Central where I was positive I was going to get shot. But I'm sure there are third world countries that are much much worse.

Wowwwwwww whole buncha answers but nobody's said DC.? DC is by farrrrrrr worse than a lotta these cities. San Fran??? Pittsburgh??? DC is sooooooooooo ghetto it's craaaaaaaazzzzzzyyyyyy. Southeast is TERRIBLE. In a Northeast DC neigborhood,7 people were shot and killed over a three day period. IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD!

i think the most ghetto city in the world is a place so far in depth of deprivation and violence that they have little contact with the outside world therfore we dont know hardly anything about it. ghetto in my yes is no food, no electric, no nothing. where you die trying to find a meal. therefore i believe the most ghetto place to be somwhere africa or asia somewhere. but if your taking ghetto in the term of gangsters and drug problems probaly the bronx or california.

Sanford FL which is where everyone calls them selves goons n compunds stupid stuff like that
