Moving soon... what areas to avoid

So like the title says, im moving to flint soon with my disabled mother and autistic son. We're all from lansing but have essentially been pushed out due to low wages, high rent and cost of living. I have family who lives in the area but im curious to see what everyone from flint thinks. I'll be looking to rent, and I just need to know general areas to avoid. Im trying to firm up a job out that way making good money. Mostly just trying to find a place for a fresh start where my son can grow and thrive and where we can find the community we need.
