The Colorado Town Rated One of the Worst in the Country
Great news for Pueblo: 18 other towns in the U.S. suck worse:
- 18. Springfield, MA
- 17. Miami Beach, FL
- 16. Rockford, IL
- 15. Jackson, MS
- 14. Baltimore, MD
- 13. Stockton, CA
- 12. Springfield, MO
- 11. San Berandino, CA
- 10. Wilmington, DE
- 9. Merced, CA
- 8. Hartford, CT
- 7. Albany, GA
- 6. Milwaukee, WI
- 5. Memphis, TN
- 4. St. Louis, MO
- 3. Flint, MI
- 2. Birmingham, AL
- 1. Detroit, MI
This according to the website buzz.auntyacid.com, and seems to be based almost solely on crime statistics. Sounds legit enough, as on my adventure through different positions in radio, I experienced life in Omaha, Indianapolis, and Colorado Springs (as well as a couple places I'm fond of;) and I can tell you there's nothing that gives me an attitude - dare I say rage - as being surrounded by rampant crime.
For Pueblo, the study credits its poor ranking to these facts:
- 18.4 percent of adults have a bachelor's degree.
- One out of four residents live in poverty.
- The average household earns $45,000 - which is $13,000 below the national average.
- I would add that Colorado Springs makes fun of it.
