Dover, Delaware
Dover is one of the oldest significant cities in America, founded by William Penn in 1683. Later, the city continued to play strategic locations in both the revolutionary and civil wars. Today, it is considered a diverse community with decent public schools but provides costly housing options, a higher level of crime, and a small job market.
Jackson, Mississippi
Jackson was called to General Andrew Jackson as a way to honor him for his involvement in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. Jackson is one of the nation’s most affordable cities with a median rent of $824 and a median home value of $90,800. However, its financial well-being is one of the poorest in the country, with a median household income of $37,000. As a result, its quality of life rating is also very poor.
