Cicero, Illinois
Cicero has become known for being the “private playground” of Al Capone back in the ‘20s. The city continues to struggle with this reputation. Sadly, gang activity is still a big problem over there. In 1999, the city decided to force gang members to leave in a span of 60 days or pay a daily fine of $500.

Port Arthur, Texas
Port Arthur has dealt with three hurricanes that wreaked massive destruction ever since 2005. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey dealt damages worth $1.3 billion on the city. Town officials feel nervous that Port Arthur will soon have a population of below 50,000 if people continue to leave. Should this happen, it is no longer going to be eligible for federal grants.
