7. Huntington, West Virginia
Huntington has been hit by hard times since its once-booming coal industry has been thrown overboard. More than 6% of the population has relocated since 2010 and may be a result of the overdose on opioids. In recent times, the city has been voted as the overdose capital of America and was also listed as one of the most unhealthy cities in 2008. This lethal combination of high unemployment and rampant substance abuse will be the city’s undoing.

6. North Miami
North Miami is known for its constant flooding due to its history of high tides. If the city is not careful, they could have a major wastewater overflow soon as the city fears its septic tanks – 2,780 in total – will become destroyed due to rising sea levels. Can you imagine being flooded with sewerage? The high possibility is certainly enough impetus for many people to leave the city.
