There are numerous RUclips videos just like this one rating the worst cities in Illinois. They all seem to have different cities listed. As a lifelong Illinoisan I can say that downstate Illinois is not a bad place to live. It's like living in Iowa except for the higher taxes.
It doesn't matter but I grew up in Harvey. Dolton , Riverdale. . In Dolton they have a fishing club Piscatters my father was a lifetime member,the club is still there today. Went to the White castle in Blue Island. My mother was a security Guard in Thornton and Thornridge. A lot of the roads you drove on brings back memories I grew up there in the 60s and 70s by 1978 I left joined the Army in Harvey recruiting station. Harvey was pretty bad back then when I left. Most of the residents are Black now. Plus the mayor that was there should be put in jail
They forgot to mention Joliet...it sucks... the jobs all suck...the housing isn't affordable .....homeless people everywhere...why isn't it on this list..it needs to be
#1 is HARVEY! 60426, place of my birth back in 1955. My Dad born there in 1930. It was a pleasant place to live with good schools (cranky teachers though), plentiful good paying industrial and technical jobs, and low-ish crime. We walked everywhere. Left in 4th grade. 😊
10. Harvard. 9. Centralia. 8. Blue Island. 7. East St. Louis. 6. Hoopeston. 5. Dalton.
4. Riverdale. 3. Cahokia. 2. Markham. 1. Harvey.
Chicago is possibly the best city in the United States? Can you say delusional?

I agree, I was born in northwest Illinois and we felt closer to Iowa than Illinois.
The land of high Taxes 💯
What is the ethnicity of these areas?
Does it make a difference?
