There are some pockets in HP that are still "decent". West of Woodward, south of Davison, east of Oakland isn't horrible. I currently have family members that live in the area, and have for the past decade or more, and they haven't been pillaged yet. I have been less of a victim of property crime to my car in HP than when I lived in Hamtramck, though I write that off to more teenage hood rats cruising on Jos Campau than in HP. Hamtown is definitely more walkable. I would not buy anything in either place.
