The 10 Worst US Cities to Live In
1. Camden, New Jersey
Camden has been on all worst cities lists for years. This small city that sits directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia has a population of just over 77,000. Camden was once known for its manufacturing industry, but today it is riddled with urban decay and political corruption. Camden is considered the most impoverished city in the US, with a median household income of just $18,000 and 43% of residents living below the poverty line. Camden also has one of the highest crime rates in the country, at 560% above the national average. The unemployment rate in Camden is close to 15%, almost three times higher than the national average. Life in Camden is dreary and dangerous, so moving here is not a wise thing to do.
