What is the most dangerous area of Los Angeles (or its suburbs) according to police statistics?
I will be travelling to L.A. soon and I am wondering which areas should be avoided to stay safe. Are there official no go zones? Do you maybe know of any maps?

According the LA Times the neighborhood called Chesterfield Square is the one with most violent crimes per capita as of spring 2017. Surrounding areas like Harvard Park or Vermont Vista and the Southcentral region in general rank high in violent crime statistics.
@Johns-305 Said in the comments that there is nothing like 'no-go' zones.
Thanks to @Max for providing the link to this site in the comments.
