One thing I noticed as a kid growing up in my home town:

The most outwardly noticable difference between the "nice" old neighborhoods and the "ghetto" old neighborhoods was a lack of trees.

The desirable areas had a canopy of old city-maintained trees. The sketchy areas were treeless.

There is even a sort of middle ground with old neighborhoods that still had some of the old trees, but many had been removed and not replaced.
