Plainfield, New Jersey
The city of Plainfield saw 719 violent crime reports in the year 1990. Even though this number has since gone down, the residents still struggle with this problem. A fifth of them lives below the poverty line. A third does not have health insurance either. On average, it takes them 31 minutes to commute as well.
Bell Gardens, California
Bell Gardens more or less relies on just one casino for the majority of the tax revenue. The casino even provided over half of it in 2002! One of the major cities of the city would be overpopulation. We are sad to hear that 30% of the residents live in poverty.
