Often, area are not necessarily rough, but a few problem families, often reasonably large cause mini crime waves, then they get re housed somewhere else (if not put in prison). How do councils in the UK deal with said families? Do they move them on? Can they? And if they do, how do they make it better for the next neighbourhood that gets the nightmare household? Do they warn the new neighbours that this family have a history?
