Compton isn’t the most pleasant place to live or raise a family for pretty obvious reasons. For starters, just under half of the city’s population is unemployed, while nearly a quarter lives below the poverty line.

That being said, while Compton still has its fair share of issues, it’s far less dangerous than it was in the past. As evidence, there were a whopping eighty seven murders in 1991, but by 2014, there were only seven murders.
