19. Delaware – East Side (Wilmington)
Wilmington’s East Side has long been one of Delaware’s most referenced neighborhoods in crime discussions and main contributor of the city’s crime rate of 1,201 per 100k residents. The area has experienced higher rates of violent crime, drug-related activity, and economic instability compared to surrounding districts. While Wilmington benefits from proximity to major East Coast cities, not all neighborhoods share in that economic advantage. The East Side reflects how concentrated urban challenges can persist even in smaller states, making it a key focus in Delaware’s safety landscape.
