41. Palmdale, California
If you want to reach the office or your appointment early, then you will need to leave at least an hour early as the commute time is generally 42 minutes. That sure is a lot of time wasted! The city’s failure to properly manage traffic and construct adequately efficient highways has caused something as avoidable as road rage to become a leading cause of unhappiness. With a population of a little over 155,000, the unemployment/poverty rate is an average of 19%. As of a few years back, the city was referred to many as “the foreclosure capital of California.

40. Harlingen, Texas
Harlingen is a relatively small city with a little over 65,000 residents and one that is extremely hot. Believe it or not, the oppressively radiant sun and a lack of air-conditioning in public buildings leave the overheating population grossly unhappy. The population has an approximate 30% poverty level and roughly 56% in a job – survivable or stable. Just imagine how hard it must be in the city, especially seeing 2,000 immigrants were sent back to the city in 2019.
