Edit: I found another site that ranks the top 100, with Detroit in 3rd, St. Louis in 14th, and Houston 68th.
As somebody who lives in the Detroit area, parts are bad, but the area where world's will be held is more or less safe. There are parts that are bad but the downtown area itself isn't terrible. I don't worry about walking the mile or so from say, the Cobo center to Hard Rock Cafe, and the walk back, in the evening. It's well lit and not in a dangerous area. Flint, MI is actually more dangerous than Detroit.
