C & D properties ,I can’t tell the difference help!
So I’m trying to narrow down what a c area vs d area are . It seem like they are the same, I assume F area would be a war zone or is there a such thing as a F area and that D is the war zone ? I assume C is a low income area but when I was listening to another one of those Clayton Morris podcast & he was talking about he invest in C class area , with Good School zones , 🤔 that’s the part that throws me off cause when I see what I think is a C area on Zillow the school zones are really sucky like the lowest of the low , but maybe I’m looking at this all wrong.
Can someone school me & put me on game

I haven’t found any clearly defined classification rules on grading so it’s subjective
C class is going To look depressed compared to where most people would want to live Lots of rental houses many homes have falling off gutters and old aluminum siding 10 year old cars some houses may have boards on windows . A lot of lower income people walking around Some vacant lots with high grass just generally an area that isn’t well kept as the more working class areas
D is like C class but more vacant homes and boarded up windows . Clunker cars higher crime . Drug use ,Street corner businesses that sell booze cigs and lotto tickets .mostl everyone sagging their pants with oversized clothing . Children playing randomly in the street trash on the sidewalks and street .Bars on the doorways random weirdos walking around virtually everyone is on disability mostly all rentals and most of them look bad and needing maintenance . Poorly kept lawns .mostly everyone plays rap music when they drive by .
F is like D on steroids but with a lot more drugs crime and now much more gang activity ,shootings .hoodlums loitering on corners . Prostitution ,Bars in doors and windows No nice houses many blighted .very few newer cars . Graffiti on buildings trash everywhere . Very High minority population ( don’t judge it’s a statistical fact in very low income areas) if you hear about a shooting or drug bust it’s probably going to be in this area . Just at total mess . This area is Usually surrounding public housing assistance complexes . When you drive through here you do it in the day and double check your car doors are locked and you roll windows up
