20 Most Miserable U.S. Cities to Live In

   

Forbes magazine released its dubious 2013 list of the most miserable cities in the United States of America.  With the new list for the new year came a new city listed at the top of the list as Detroit, Michigan (pictured above) replaces last year’s most miserable city of Miami, Florida.  The magazine cites Detroit’s high unemployment, violent crimes, shrinking population, and its financial crisis as reasons for giving the city the title.

The list created by Forbes involves the scrutiny of the country’s largest urban areas which are then ranked via factors such as the city’s crime rates, foreclosures, taxes, home prices, commute times, weather, and decreasing populations.

Here are the United States’ 20 Most Miserable Cities of 2013:
  1. Detroit, Michigan
  2. Flint, Michigan
  3. Rockford, Illinois
  4. Chicago, Illinois
  5. Modesto, California
  6. Vallejo, California
  7. Warren, Michigan
  8. Stockton, California
  9. Lake County, Illinois
  10. New York City, New York
  11. Toledo, Ohio
  12. St. Louis, Missouri
  13. Camden, New Jersey
  14. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
