Neighborhoods in Ohio

Hi, I am looking into some investment properties in Lorain and also in Cleveland 44109. I am not familiar with these areas and I was wondering if someone could give me information. 

1. Are these bad neighborhoods? I have used crime map websites and zillow to look at Lorain and have got conflicting reports. 

2. I know Lorain used to have a big steel industry but it has been shrinking. Are people leaving Lorain? Is the area getting worse?

3. Cleveland with the area code 44109. Is this a bad part of Cleveland? Is this located near anything of value?

I would appreciate any insight on these markets. Thank you.
