America’s ‘neediest’ cities ranked, from poverty to adequate plumbing

Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Los Angeles all rank among the nation’s 10 “neediest” cities, according to an analysis by the personal finance website WalletHub.

The report ranked 182 cities on 28 economic indicators, including child poverty, food insecurity and inadequate kitchens.

Detroit ranked as the neediest metropolis. One Detroit renter in five faced eviction this year, according to a report in The Detroit News.

Brownsville, Texas, ranked second. One-quarter of the city’s population lives in poverty, twice the national average, according to a recent account in 24/7 Wall St.

Cleveland ranks third. Cleveland’s poverty rate is 29 percent, according to a report from WEWS-TV, making it the nation’s second-poorest large city, behind Detroit.

Ranking fourth through sixth were Gulfport, Mississippi; Fresno, California; and Laredo, Texas.

Philadelphia ranked seventh. The City of Brotherly Love has logged 500 homicides in 2022, according to WTXF-TV.

every dysfunctional, filthy, dilapidated, murderous, crime-ridden, drug-infested, corrupt, bankrupt city in America has been run by democrats for 50-plus years.

Fresno didn’t used to be that way.

Sad.

XXXXXXXXXX

Thanks to open borders, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that if your town butts up against any part of the southern border, you will be living in a hellscape of cartel violence, human and drug trafficking, and poverty.

article: "Lewiston, Maine, headed the list of cities with inadequate kitchens, presumably a measure of available water and electricity, rather than counter space and cupboards."

*Bzzzzz* wrong! Lewiston Maine is Somali Central. These dogs will subdivide a house in into 4 parts for 4 different households. It is supposed to be a real scheisse hole. Whoever thought of bringing Somalians to Maine or Minnesota should be crucified. Literally.

You can buy an entire standalone house in certain neighborhoods of Detroit for $6000 or less.

Not that you would want to, but they were once nice houses in nice neighborhoods.

No, no, all of this is the fault of Whitey. Systemic raaacism has condemned POX people to poverty and inequity. Pox people act out their frustration and dehumanization by Whitey by murdering each other en masse and periodically having black rage riots in which they burn down their cities. It is all very simple, it is Whitey’s fault and WHITEY MUST PAY. and eventually they will try a little Rwanda extermination justice to balance the scales. All you posters out there who think I am just an awful raaacist, just wait and see what is coming. Plenty of nice soft whitey preachers tell their mind dumbed congregations we must accept our guilt for the POX people’s woes.

Right?

"WHITEY MUST PAY."

.

What will happen when Whitey no longer pays?
Either because he is flat broke and CANNOT pay -
or else he 'selfishly' decides that he'd rather feed HIS OWN FAMILY -
rather than someone else's?

(Just a rhetorical question.)

My mother is from Lewiston and I still have relatives there. The worse cell phone reception imaginable...

I can't seem to remember if it was Clinton or Bush. I think it was Clinton.

Rothenburg, Germany founded 1170.

Cleveland, OH founded 1796.

Well… notice how the Rothenburg streets have so many more “cracks” than Cleveland’s streets. You’ll trip on those German streets. /sarc

Funny how poverty stricken people still manage to own big screen tvs and air jordans. And gold chains.

I’m not seeing some of the old stand-bys (East St Louis MO, Stockton CA, Gary IN) on that list.

Where did the $20 TRILLION in welfare go? Shouldn’t this be a non-existent problem by now?
