Mansfield, Ohio
Mansfield was once a successful city thanks to all the available industrial jobs it had. Sadly, the work has since dried up as did the whole city. Aside from this, a GM factory shut down operations in 2010 and led to more unemployment in the area. Violent crimes shot up by 37% since 2012.
