one in eight. The street borders the Vine City MARTA station.A
section of Marietta Street running from CNN Center to North Avenue is
the other neighborhood to make the top 10. The neighborhood is predicted
to have 307 violent crimes next year, according to the website.Also

connector west of Turner Field, and Humphries Street in southeast
Atlanta’s Pittsburgh neighborhood.
