While San Antonio receives praise for its tourism and economic growth, the city is challenged with neighborhoods only considered “somewhat liveable,” according to one website's scoring system.

Neighborhood rating site AreaVibes.com graded the city’s 375 neighborhoods with “liveability” scores by crunching data on crime, education, employment and housing, among others categories.

We reviewed local districts and generated a list of the 30 worst neighborhoods in San Antonio, based on their scores.

While the neighborhoods scoring in the low 90s were deemed “exceptionally liveable,” others, which scored in the low 60s, were classified as “somewhat liveable.”

San Antonio neighborhoods in general received As when it came to categories like amenities, cost of living and weather, but several neighborhoods in the west and east parts of town had strikingly low figures in other areas like crime, education, employment and housing.

Still, every low-scoring neighborhood received much higher ratings than last year: In an Express-News report published December 2014, neighborhood "liveability" scores dipped to the low 50s.

And last year's worst neighborhoods, the Artesia Community Guild, Los Jardines and Harvard Place-Eastlawn each jumped over 10 points since then.

The rise in "liveability" scores could mean that the efforts of community members, groups and councilmembers are making a real difference in these parts of town.
