33. Camden, New Jersey
New Jersey sure pops up on this list a lot, and another of its cities, Camden, has been voted one of the most miserable. Reports indicate that the average earning per household annually is $26,105, which makes it the lowest survival amount on this list. Crime rates are gradually lowering, while over 37% of the population lives in poverty. As you can see from the picture below, its poorest population bracket is sorely neglected.

32. Pine Bluff, Arkansas
With one year showing a major reduction in manufacturing jobs by over 3,000, Pine Bluff has seen a drastic migration of its residents to other cities and states. As of 2010, more than 14% of the residents have relocated, and with the continued struggles, they were hit by all-city flooding in 2019. You can expect Pine Bluff to become America’s first-ever 21st century ‘ghost city’ in the near future.
