Not really much to see as far as "hoods". Grand rapids is probably the cleanest larger city in the state. There's some really grimey parts you missed but not much of them at all. Was much more hoods back in the early 00's but gentrification has been going really strong for a while now.

I used to work for WOOD TV. You didn't go to the worst parts. GR hood isn't as bad as some cities its size, but it definitely has its elements; believe me, I got sent to them plenty. But overall, it's a pretty well kept city. Last year I worked there, Kalamazoo actually had more homicides despite being a third the size.

I was born, raised and worked in GR for over 40 years. In the last 15 years or so, crime has gotten worse in the neighborhood being shown, because of people moving in from the Detroit/Flint area's. There are still quite a few nice area's in the city, which haven't been affected, yet. I retired and moved to my rural Northern Michigan acreage, where crime is almost nonexistent. Some of the worst crime area's in GR, to name a few, are called: The Black Hills, Burton Heights, South East Community, Roosevelt Park, and West Grand.
