A study by Neighborhoodscout.com ranked the Smoketown neighborhood; specifically East Breckinridge Street in zip codes 40203 and 40204 as the 14th most dangerous of the 17,000 cities.
The report says zip codes 40203 and 40204 have the highest crime rate in Louisville. It says there are 226 predicted annual crimes in the neighborhood and that a person's chances of being a victim of a violent crime there within a year are one in nine.
