24. Yakima, Washington
Though Yakima is at the heart of Washington’s wine industry, this city doesn’t see much of the benefits. It has a poverty rate of over double of the state, with households falling about $30,000 short of the median income here. With that, it has a high crime rate!
23. Fayetteville, North Carolina
Residents of the military town here have been trying to get out because of crime problems. The homicide and violent crime rate in Fayetteville doubled the nation’s average for 2019. With that, there’s a snowball effect, which contributes to poor-quality schools and fewer job opportunities.
