Description

Ranking the WORST small towns in America, where cheap homes, quiet streets, and small-town charm can hide some serious problems. From shrinking populations and limited job opportunities to crime, poverty, struggling downtowns, poor infrastructure, and residents moving away, these places reveal a very different side of small-town America. Some of these towns were once thriving communities built around factories, mining, railroads, agriculture, or local industry. Today, many are dealing with abandoned properties, declining businesses, weak local economies, aging neighborhoods, and fewer opportunities for younger residents. Which town deserves the number one spot? And would you ever consider living in one of these places? Watch until the end to see which small town ranks as one of the worst places to live in America.
