15. Anderson, Indiana
Anderson has seen its worst over the last few years as over 24 GM factories have closed down, and over 23,000 jobs lost. It is incredible and tragic to see how many cities depended on GM for their working classes’ livelihoods. The economic status of the city started dwindling, and in 2015, the city was afforded over $2.5 million for home demolition. These demolitions, however, were for abandoned homes lying around.
14. Macon-Bibb County, Georgia
Macon-Bibb County has over 56% of its population working, another 26% living in poverty while the remaining struggles to survive. Over the last eight years, the population has decreased by over 2%. Living and business properties in the city are much as over 3,700 buildings are unoccupied – due to the spaces being unappealing. You can then expect to walk through entire sectors of Macon-Bibb County that are completely ghostly.
