Here's some of the worst, run down, and most dangerous places in New Castle, PA. This is a rust belt city that has been plagued by economic depression and an overall crime rate 36% higher than the national average. After the decline of the industrial era with the closing of mills and production factories in the 70's and 80's, New Castle was hit hard and has been trying to recover ever since. The population has been on a steady decrease for many decades now and is currently sitting at around 21,087 as of 2022. Is it looking better than years before, is there a revitalization in progress? Let's take a drive and see.
