oh, wow. I lived on E Stewart about three houses away from Parsons. I was there two years.
It's a few blocks from German Village and the neighborhood is technically called Merion Village. Once you get past Washington Street, which runs parallel with Parsons Ave., the area can be rough.
Once you cross over Parsons, it gets worse. the neighborhood is a bunch of main streets, like Stewart, with a bunch of alleys that run behind the houses. It's older single homes or duplexes. I lived on a duplex. I parked on Stewart and had all four tires slashed one night. I never knew who did it or why. I chalked it up to kids bored walking through. my roommate had her car broken into and cds taken.
I would not go to the Kroger store on the corner of Parsons and Livingston or the Kroger further south on Parsons because it did feel unsafe.
this is just for others not familiar with the area. I hope Jayme is found safe. prayers to her.

The area is slowly getting better. There are a lot of people moving into Merion Village to gentrify it as a cheaper, similar alternative to German Village. There's been a lot of construction around Children's Hospital as well, and what was bad a few years ago has become better. I'm not saying it's idyllic, by any means, but where she disappeared from felt relatively safe during the day. At night, I'd be far more cautious - but she disappeared at 10am. That to me indicates she likely knew the person, given the amount of traffic in the area.
