I don't have any stats, but I don't doubt that Flint has more crime than Danville. I'm sure it had more crime than Danville even in it's salad days! Danville has a few hundred properties for sale, Flint has several thousand.

Flint was featured in Micheal Moore's first "documentary" about GM moving a plant in Flint to Mexico, "Roger and Me". He's from Flint. The only scene I remember is a laid off autoworker family selling rabbits with a sign, "Pets or Meat"!

I think the only thing keeping Flint on any kind of life support at all was the Delphi plant, which recently went bankrupt. Flint looks heading to being a ghost town, like one of those little places out west where the mine played out and everyone left.
