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.
