Detroit was the setting of RoboCop. Crime was pretty bad there in the 70s/80s. It's much better now and the city is turning around.

However, worth noting that Detroit is in the lower peninsula of Michigan, and the blue "cars & crime" part here is the upper peninsula, which is basically super rural and low crime. I suspect this was done intentionally, lol.
