- The Midwest is full of communities that are safe and affordable, but there are also places where no one should want to live. These places are dangerous, filthy, impoverished, desolate cities and towns, where the people who are trapped there are completely miserable. In this video, we're uncovering seven of the worst places you could live in Indiana.

I guess the rule of thumb is something like if there’s a city you can afford to buy a house in you really don’t want to live there.
I live next to (but not in) a neighborhood in Indy where a million dollars could not buy a home...You would need a multiple of that amount. On summer nights, you can sometimes clearly hear gunfire from an entertainment district that is just a couple of miles away from those mansion homes. Last year, four people were shot to death in one night on those streets by a nineteen year-old girl. When police cordoned off the area they found six vehicles parked there that contained firearms. No permit is required in Indiana to buy or carry a gun.
Thank you for posting all these videos on areas to live or not live. I getting ready to retire soon, and Im looking elsewhere soon.
What about Indianapolis? You can't turn on the local news or radio station without hearing about the stabbings & shootings that occurred the previous day. There were times I even heard gun shots outside where I lived. I am SO GLAD to be out of that city now!
Indy definitely has some issues. I left it out, because I covered it in this other video: ruclips.net/video/3Ct29Glg2IY/видео.html
Indianapolis can get bad but it’s crime often is overlooked due to the fact most of the crime is all in the same areas and it’s has some of the best suburbs in the country in Hamilton and Hendricks counties.
@@JordanO317 It's best not to be in those areas at certain times so one doesn't get caught in the crossfire.
"Gary". A good four -letter solution for a crossword clue "a very bad place" when "slum", "jail", and "Hell" don't fit.
Gary was once a place of great resources and still had beautiful things about it … there is God and bad in every place at this point .. there is still good there to some it’s the home unfortunately a place don’t go bad people do suffering from their societal oppression and having to adapt to unavailable funding and support to rebuild and this is uncalled for - why aren’t they getting the required necessities to stay intact is the question because human beings live here
I live in Terre Haute. I-70 is a major highway for transporting drugs. A lot of the big busts are on I-70. I am a senior citizen and feel fairly safe. Also, I don't take any chances no matter where I am. The major crises are the roads, railroad tracks and what seems like an increase in vehicle accidents. Yes, there are drug and homelessness problems but this is true just about everywhere. It's an ok place to live.
Great info!
I was born and raised in Terre Haute Indiana, moved to Indianapolis in 2005 and lived in Indianapolis until 2019. I now live 40 minutes northeast of Indianapolis. I have spent a lot of time in Anderson, Indiana since living in Indianapolis and near Anderson, as well as I lived in Anderson for close to a year, and I can tell you unequivocally that Terre Haute is 5,000 times better than Anderson, which didn’t even make this list! Anderson is full of boarded up buildings and homes, potholes, and overgrown lawns and weeds, has no news stations (Terre Haute has two), no mall (Terre Haute has 2), and lots of toothless meth heads walking around the streets. Terre Haute has two large hospitals; Anderson only has one; Indiana State University is much larger than the college in Anderson, of which I don’t even remember the name. Terre Haute has two super Walmarts; Anderson only has one. Terre Haute has a lot more middle class and upper middle-class neighborhoods than Anderson, which has largely just poor neighborhoods. Terre Haute has several night clubs and college bars, as well as very nice restaurants and a list of restaurants that is over 250; Anderson has one blue-collar nightclub and maybe one or two crappy taverns and maybe two or three somewhat nice restaurants, not to mention that 99% of the parking lots in Anderson are full of cigarette butts. Terre Haute has two airports; Anderson has one. Terre Haute is home to the number 1 engineering college in the United States. To put Terre Haute at number two on this list and Anderson not even on the list is freaking laughable. I would also say that I have been to Muncie several times and Terre Haute is much better than Muncie. Also, I have been to Kokomo multiple times in the last four years, and Terre Haute is much better than Kokomo in every way. And Terre Haute has begun revitalizing its downtown, has a new outdoor large concert venue, The Mill, and its new casino has a luxury hotel, which Anderson's casino does not have. My list would have been South Bend number 7, Terre Haute number 6, Richmond number 5, Kokomo number 4, Muncie number 3, Anderson number 2, Gary number 1.
I never said these are the ONLY places in Indiana someone shouldn't move to; this is just seven of them. Anderson would definitely be on the list, if I had wanted to make it longer. I was just in Anderson in February for an event, and I agree that it has all of the elements of a truly horrible place to live. I don't recommend it either.
While your points are well researched, it is not accurate to say Gary 'hitched its wagons' to the steel industry. Gary was literally built as a company town for US Steel and named for its founding chairman.
The Gary Works still produces huge amounts of steel, but the process is now highly automated and employees few workers. I think part of the decline of places like Gary is due to the welfare state, which allows people to remain in the area with minimal resources, instead of moving to where where there are jobs. Unemployed young men get into trouble with the law. When someone has a drug conviction most companies won't hire them. Most employers avoid cities with a low percentage of college graduates. Gary has valuable Lake Michigan frontage that begs to be redeveloped. If Gary would further empty out the crime would decline and the city might be redeveloped, which is the long term story for Detroit. Unfortunately, a very long trend considering that Gary was rapidly built in 1906 from a large swampy area. Gary has a potentially great location. Stay in school kids.
LOL Thank you! So, I moved from Georgetown Il to Brazil In... read that as Danville and Terre Haute... I'd like to see the numbers on Brazil, In. As always, great video!!! You have the knack for it.
I’ve lived in two of the towns listed, Muncie and Bloomington. Both are a world better than my hometown, Anderson, In. Anderson was nice when I was a kid, but it’s been downhill ever since. I can’t believe Bloomington is on this list. It is by far my favorite town in Indiana. I imagine the University and drunk students account for a lot of the crime. I felt safe there all the time. I can’t say the same for Anderson or Muncie.
I get sick when I see a horse track and casino along I-69 in Anderson. People do not get rich working in casinos, let alone betting their paychecks away. Anderson prospered when GM had a big plant there. Yes, assemly line work was mnd-numbing, body-wracking work, but at least one had a union and could retire at 55 if your body wore out. One made enough that one could go to college at night and become an accountant or engineer or save money to start a business. Assembly-line workers with union wages made small businesses viable.
It's arguable that the factory did more to create a middle-income America than did college education.
I would totally agree. I can’t believe Bloomington is on the list. I think it is a nice place. I currently live in Indy.
I`ve lived in Ft Wayne all my life. It is changing for the worse like most places but it is growing. Growing too much for my liking. This peaceable suburb has now become part of a bustling city environment...farmland is now hospital and healthcare businesses.
Cities growing generally isn’t considered a bad thing. Fort Wayne is pushing 300,000 but your farm fields are still only 25 minutes away from downtown. Best of both worlds.
Bloomington is hit and miss depending which neighborhood you live in. But overall it's a pretty safe place to live (for a city this size) with beautiful neighborhoods and parks. Campus crime and a couple of high poverty places skew the data.
Indy, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Gary, need more??
My grandkids live in Muncie .Wow I didn't know that.There's alot of homeless in Kokomo too and what about Marion?
Interesting how some of the worst places in Indiana are also the "big college" towns. Gary & Hammond sit next to each other, but many in Lake Co would tell you Hammond is "safer" than Gary. These two cities & crime bleed down into other adjacent towns like Munster, Highland, Merrillville, & Hobart. I grew up as a youngster in Gary. In the late 70s & early 80s it was known as "Murder Capital of the World." Gary doesn't have as many homicides as it once did because many deaths are now listed as "accidents." Gary was built and founded by US Steel Corp. It didn't hitch its wagon to the steel industry; it was the steel industry. It just never had leadership with an eye on diversification..... just a few notes from the 219 / Lake Co area.....
Elkhart, IN here…..I technically live in Edwardsburg, MI but work literally right across the road & pay taxes, shop in Elkhart.
Terre haute also has lots of gypies. ...just go a casino..merth haute..gangs from gary moved in. Bad water and air.....also called terry hot. Was known as sin city.
Grew up in gary and worked there all my life. Watched it go downhill since the 60s. Downtown gary is not near as bad as it used to be. The majority have moved south to the city of merrillville . Deserted after dark . Less people left to rob and murder. Worked in gary on the night shift. Still very scary though. Merrillville has all the rift raft from gary.
Gary has very affordable housing, is on the shores of Lake Michigan, and has a minor league baseball team. However, it’s a little scary to dive through there.
Gary is a wasteland ghetto.
I live in middle of gary hammond and chicago so..
I live NOrth West INdiana its called The rust belt.
Well I sure wouldn't recommend moving to Evansville either. 😬 Lots of mental illness. And apparently we're the drug capital of Indiana. It's hard to describe the amount of news reports i get about drug dealers, drug users and drug related crimes. Also we've just had a double homicide. Also it has it's fair share of child molesters and attempted abductions. I laugh when I meet people new to the area and they're talking about how great it is. Yep. Just you wait 😅 Im planning my escape. I will say, however, that our police force seems to be doing a great job the last year ir two particularly.
"or" 😁
Do a story on lafayette indiana
i have to agree with gary being #1 i was always told growing up if you went there expect to either get shot mugged or stabbed
Kokomo should definitely be on that list.
You failed to mentioned the smell in Terre Haute.
That seems to imply there might be places in Indiana one would want to move to?
Quite a few Illinoisans move there every year. 🤷🏼♀️
ok just going to set 1 thing stright i live in bloomington and the bouncers do not wear bullet proof vests
Do you go to every single bar in the town to check?
@@StuckInTheKernfield i have lived here for 15 years off and on i walk by the bars downtown practically every other day there are no bullet proof vests there is a homeless problem in town so i can understand why people might get that mixed up with the regular plain clothes officers that are assigned to keep them and the students in line and tbh its the students that cause most of the problems i used to work at a taco bell in the downtown area where a majority of the bars are located and every night i would have to spend upwards of 5 hours cleaning up the mess those drunkards made
I guess take it up with the Bloomingtonian. They're the ones reporting it: bloomingtonian.com/2023/03/19/how-safe-is-bloomington-really-by-steven-higgs/#google_vignette
This is what their article says:
One indicator of the dangerous new reality are the bouncers, who include a Combs family member.
“The bouncers in the downtown bars are three times the size of the bouncers when I was a young college student,” he said. “I mean, those guys are enormous.”
And these days, they wear bullet-proof vests, Combs said.
“They wear Kevlar,” he said. “What kind of job is it in Bloomington, Ind., that you have to wear Kevlar? That’s the level we’re operating at now with gun crimes in Bloomington.”
Martinsville Indiana is the most miserable and most unreported crime area is Indiana
The best spots are in the county and john cougar is overplayed bunches
You didn’t mention that Jim Jones is buried in Earlam Cemetery at the foot of his ex wife’s grave
7 places to not move in Indiana: North Indiana, north west Indiana, south west Indiana, south Indiana, south east Indiana, east Indiana, north east Indiana. The same logic applies to many states like Iowa.
NorthWest Indiana is pretty safe other than Gary Hannah Union Mills Westville Laporte and Other. Cities are pretty safe
Muncie isn't too bad but it's a college town
I grew up in rural, ignorant, racist Indiana. So glad to be far FROM Indiana.
Gary, Hammond, East Chicago are by far theee best cities in Indiana! Only thing is we basically aren't Indiana, more like Chicago, yet not them either. We are our own entity
the 3 ghostowns of indiana are the best?
Northwest Indiana is usually pretty safe
This video would be more accurate you said "Places in Indiana you should never move to. Number 1. Indiana. Thanks for watching."
Haha, yeah
We live in Greencastle and it is safe.

Claypool, IN, population about 450
