47. Huntsville, Texas
It is often said that where poverty is, there will be a lot of crime, and Huntsville may have just proven that. The population has an average of 35% of poverty with a high unemployment rate. Also, a major standout for this city is its high rate of employment by the Department of Criminal Justice, standing at over 7,000 jobs. After all, most of the state’s executions are done in this city. It is clear that the prison system is exploiting the skyrocketing crime rates and failed social systems.
46. Trenton, New Jersey
Trenton is no longer the trade center to benefit the world but more like a home to crime, violence, and gang violence. This New Jersey city once had a high production rate, but along the line, something went wrong. As the city’s industry began to fail with the rapidly changing economic impetuses and reforms, thousands of the working-class’s members were brutally left to fend for themselves. The decline led the city to a hike in illegal activities.
