The map isn't perfect by any means... there are some pocket neighborhoods that are just fine. However the general consensus is that the closer to the Inner Loop you get, the higher the probability is that any particular neighborhood is unsafe.
So while the southern portions of the "3rd Worst Neighborhood" (South Wedge) are pretty decent, head to the northern portions which are part of a failed revitalization/gentrification plan and your level of safety drops like a rock. And while it's called "3rd Worst" on the map, would it be any different to call it 5th Best? It's just the connotation associated with worst/best... someone always has to be the worst, not everyone can be the best.
Nice links! I wonder how many of these are drug/gang related. Most of the murders seem to be on the north side. I ask if these are drug/gang related because it is possible for someone to get murdered in a good neighborhood. Homicides do happen in the suburbs, just look at the Garcia trial.

when they run stories on the murders most seem to be either drug/gang related or domestic issues..... The majority of the time random people aren't getting picked off.
I am in the process of selecting a place to live apartment or house in Rochester. I am just out of college and after many suggestions (many from people on this forum) I am trying to find a place near east ave and alexander. I have found a couple possible locations that are slightly north of this area and I was wondering what the neighborhoods were like.
MUCH better. The only thing I would change on the map would be the streets that connect From Merchants rd to Culver. But ONLY east of Culver. IE, Grand, Hazelwood Terrace, Queens, etc. I live over in that area, and I can vouch that it is safe. We walk Merchants once in awhile at night to go bowling, it is a nice street. The streets north of Merchants going into Irondequoit are also nice.
I would also move the red area in Homestead heights a little east. I don't know a good dividing line, but much not much further west of Sovias bakery.
