22. Racine, Wisconsin
While Racine is just off the shore from Lake Michigan, it’s also the poorest in Wisconsin. Still, there’s some appeal for homebuyers because housing is affordable. Plus, Racine was named the most affordable housing option for 2017!
21. Pueblo, Colorado
Poverty rates alone aren’t the only issue for Pueblo. It also suffers from high crime rates and a lack of education options. Roughly 20 percent of the adult population has a bachelor’s degree. Plus, it ranks first for violent crime in the state, according to the FBI.
