We're always fascinated by top ten lists of worst places to live, and WalletPop has compiled an unofficial list, followed by reasons why a particular city was ranked.
1. El Centro, CA (27.5% unemployment rate)
2. Cleveland, OH (high taxes, lousy weather, political corruption and lousy sports teams -- and that was before LeBron decided to leave)
3. Detroit, MI (crime, high foreclosure & unemployment rates)
4. Las Vegas, NV (highest foreclosure rate)
5. Oklahoma City, OK (rated as the unhealthiest city in the United States by the American College of Sports Medicine)
6. Los Angeles, CA (worst air pollution and traffic)
7. Phoenix, AZ (increased tensions from new state immigration law, high foreclosure rate, poor per capita income growth)
8. Newark, NJ (poverty, toxic wastes, austerity measures such as cutting back on toilet paper, violent crime)
9. Miami, FL (crime, high foreclosure rate, rude drivers, traffic)
10. Memphis, TN (crime, corruption)
