Mobile, Alabama

Alabama has a poverty rate of 16.19%, but Mobile’s poverty rate sits at a hefty 22.4%, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. Even worse, the unemployment rate in Mobile is 4.9% as of mid-2019. Mobile is a city that is hard to live in, and as a result, its population has decreased significantly in the past five years. It is now only a shadow of the great Southern city it once was.

Little Rock, Arkansas

Aside from being the most dangerous Arkansas city, Little Rock is among the most dangerous cities in the United States as well. The FBI Statistics reveal that in 2016, 1,533 violent crimes were committed per 100,000 people, which is more than twice the national and state averages. In addition, there is a higher risk of a natural disaster like tornadoes occurring. If the residents do not get you, mother nature will.
