St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis may be well-known for its cool landmarks like the Union Station, Gateway Arch and St. Louis Zoo, but this American heartland city earned a bad rap due to a few seedy statistics. St. Louis has the “distinction” of being the top U.S. city when it comes to the most cosmetic surgeons per capita and the highest obesity and violence rates. It is basically screaming “Stay away!”

Oso, Washington
Oso, Washington is a census-designated place (or a small town) located north of Seattle. In 2014, the town made headlines infamously for being the site of a terrible mudslide which killed 43 residents. What is worse is that when environmental experts carried out investigations into geological surveys, they found out that it had been already known that the place was prone to mudslides. While the place may not be highly violent, getting killed there still feels too easy!

Reno, Nevada
Reno has been on a continuing decline for years since tourists choose to visit the casinos in Las Vegas or California. Reno cannot really compete with the other large Nevada city, so it has decided to reinvent itself. While larger companies are moving there, celebrities, such as Amy Schumer, still give Reno a bad reputation by referring to it as “a dump.” Although things are improving in the city, a great deal remains to be done.
