Judging by the stock photo here http://ghettotracker.com/about.php (white familiy, in case it'll change in the future), it's quire clear who needs to be afraid, and from whom.

I see Compton, California just added. They should simply geotag by ethnicity and save people the need to subjectively "rate" certain areas?

You should have tried to hit refresh. The image is sometimes a white family, sometimes black, and sometimes biracial. Rating areas where people live will always be sensitive (property values, racial discrimination, etc), we do not need to manufacture drama.

Does the name change as well, or is it always "Ghetto Tracker", or sometimes "White Suburban Tracker", "Trailerpark Tracker" etc.?

PS Actually double checked. There was only one photo, and this is why I mentioned that in my comment.
