Camden, New Jersey at Night...How Bad Is It?

Camden, New Jersey is one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Home to some of the highest crime and poverty in The United States. Violent crime rates are 313% higher than the national average. Poverty level is an astounding 30% above the national average. Decent jobs are hard to come by, with unemployment being 65% above the national average. Median household income is around 28,000 dollars. Although the cost of living is slightly cheaper than most of New Jersey, you have to wonder if it's worth considering. Let's take a drive and see what some of it looks like at night.
This is a documentary for educational purposes. Check out my many other videos for even more cities around The United States.

It got a lot cleaner since I retired in 2000. I was a milk delivery diver years ago. The city crime was bad. I got my milk truck stolen while making a delivery. The police found the truck.All the milk was gone.Now I am living with my son in Dallas Texas.

I remember that..That was the tony soprano community free school milk program..😂

Ok, I just came across this video and I’m glad I did. I was born and raised in Camden. I moved out of the city in ‘92. I worked there until I retired in ‘03. I still have family and friends that live there. Camden has changed over the years, but it’s getting better. I believe it’s seen it’s worse time, and can only improve. I still have so many fond memories, because it was like a small town to us that lived there. Everybody knew you, and/or your family. Outsiders can’t understand how even today if you hear a last name you can remember the family. We will travel from wherever to come back there to show support. And, as I said earlier many of us still have family members, and friends who still live there. I grew up in South Camden, and I know all of the areas shown in the video. I’m going to share this video with many others.

so many people on the street at night. Usually in videos from the USA there are almost no people on the street. I'm from Russia, hello everyone.

[@JCVACCARO]

It's actually gotten better over recent years. Still a long way to go though.

[@LauraKnotek]

Why are there so many dry cleaning businesses in a hood?

[@nikasmith206]

Looks like you hit all the yellow lights. Thanks for your work. May God be with you.

[@nancycatania7763]

What’s so bad about folks walking around their neighborhoods on a warm summer night? I worked in Camden as a social worker for 40 years. Never had a problem with the residents; if anything, people were very respectful and friendly!

[@thejudgmentalcat]

Still not as bad as Philly 😢

[@jaquanpratt]

Thank god

[@clairwaucaush7225]

First off, very few trees to be seen.

[@saburwolf2792]

Honestly, It's not that bad even though it's cleaner. But it is still the worst part of New Jersey ever. I'm from Central Jersey, and it's much safer at night than it is up in Camden. Except for Manville though.

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Things have improved but still a way to go.

[@DrLumpy]

Things are "improving"? Damn. What was it like before improvement?

[@s5adventures]

What a great video. You got a lot of activity going on in it!!

[@tanja6233]

Hello friend ✌🏽..Where ever you were in Camden..its looking mighty clean... Versus what was a few years back.. Dangerous still yes .. Down town transportation center 😂.. Police around the block 🤨 they still don't care.. Stay safe in your travels friend..See you soon again

[@markbonner1139]

Lived on 33rd St. just off Westfield Ave.in the '80's. Liked it. Moved 2 Gloucester Cty.,then Westville(on Rt.47).

[@madmaxmckinnes5862]

There's a LOT worse than that in most European cities, believe me .............

[@MrWolf2212]

Like where ???

[@_c3a3m_88]

I love skateboarding in Philly and have thought of stopping in Camden on the way to skate there too. What are the safest neighborhoods I’d be ok going to?

[@ionwhy2561]

Still a lot more opportunities than rural South Carolina!! Looks better too!

[@danettejones4969]

Reminds me of parts of Richmond, VA

[@mikedavis2969]

LOL

[@Sjpeet]

My family lived on north 24th st and high street - creamer hill . We moved out in the 70’s

[@Avilez65]

It like a time capsule, I am from Camden and it looks exactly the same when I left. I left in 97

[@JohnDorsey]

I wouldn't be stopping for those red lights

[@rshoe1023]

All I can say is that I'm glad I've never had to live in a major city! From what I've seen this is a common sight in most of our big cities! It's shameful what our great nation has become!

[@Theirishcannoli]

Camden is not a major city, more like a Satellite city of Philly

[@laretdenton9768]

Great night vedio

[@jacksprat3287]

[@jimdellavecchia4594]

[@Imnotyourdoormat]

"Home Sweet Home"....

[@tomprice4016]

Pretty nice spot here. Looking to bring my family to wholesome neighborhood, and Camden just might be it.

[@dot8551]

😂

[@MegaBait1616]

Philly spill over........ sad.

[@MC-te4hw]

How sad

[@mitchhaskins9159]

Camden ain't bad at all in comparison to hundreds of other places. Now, should any place in the USA be like this? NO, but welcome to End Times!

[@Mike-hn4ey]

Better than Philly

[@dancendaddypiper3297]

Looks like Spokane, Washington at night.

[@KJDaBanana]

I live here

[@KristNi]

It's not bad. It looks like any northeastern American city. Just a American city that looks American. Looks better than Philly and any other southern American city, I would think

[@AD-wx9zz]

You stayed on main roads. Gotta hit the back roads and go during the day. Some parts look like a third world country
