- Hold your nose and be ready to gag while you watch the Worst Smelling Cities in the United States
According to a nationwide survey of people looking to relocate and buy real estate, these are the worst-smelling cities in the United States.
Nobody wants to buy a home where it stinks and real estate agents and Realtors really don't bring that sort of thing up until they have to.
That is why we make videos like this so you know what you are getting into before you
Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

#UnitedStates
According to Briggs
Briggs got #1 right.
New Orleans smells like a combo of piss, stale fish, salt and garbage - all amplified by the 99% humidity and 95-degree temps.
Yes, I also caught whiffs of puke, swamp bottom, cotton candy, and super dank Reefer
Back in the 70s and early 80s when I worked in the offshore oil patch I would spend a lot of my time off in New Orleans. I'll never forget walking down Bourbon Street after partying all night at 6AM when all those restaurants and bars put their full garbage cans out on the curb to be picked up. I've never smelled anything like it since. I get nostalgic about those times every now and then.
agreed!
As a person who has visited all 50 states and most of its big cities, I kept saying “New Orleans had better be on this list.” I would give Philadelphia an honorable (or dishonorable) mention.
@@stevebistrup8258Philadelphia probably smells better post 2019, because the refinery in South Philly exploded and was shut down.
I'm surprised Las Vegas and New York weren't on this list.
NYC is so big that there are areas that smell and don’t smell.
I know, right?
I'm from Las Vegas. When the hotels have their sewer grates cleaned out.. It smells worst than dead bodies, rotten eggs and poop mixed together..
I’ve been to New York City, and it smelled so bad it gave me a headache.
@@thomasgriffin8269 damn lol
There was this "South Park" episode where the people of San Francisco breathe in their own farts.
2004 season was classic
Don't they pay to breathe their own farts now?
Smug Alert.
Paper factory stink the entire city of Muskegon Michigan smells like a f****** paper factory
They only do that when they are out of other drugs and their delivery is still a few days away.
What's also awful are people who not only where too much perfume/cologne but also don't wash their bodies. Now that's suffocating.
Otherwise known as an Italian shower
The worst smelling people are ones that smell like poop and people who smell like urine dirty cat litter and sadly I seen men that smell that way shopping at Walmart
The only good thing about having a paper mill in your area is you can fart and blame the mill.
Why wouldn't you claim it? Especially one of those taco bell, and beer, paint peelers.
Good idea. That way, you don't have to blame the dog. (I feel sorry for those people who blame the dog, but the dog isn't anywhere nearby!)
I used to live in a nasty smelling place, Missoula, MT. It's gotten a lot better. Way better. The paper mill, the tipi-burners, the lumber mills are all gone. We were worse than LA air for decades. You could taste the air. You could see it in the streetlights.
When the wind blows, it really sucks. (physics joke)
Says everyone in Tacoma.
Greeley CO deserves a spot on this list. You can smell that town from miles away
As an NJ native I just want to set the record straight that the whole state doesn't smell, just where the plants and factories are which is Newark and Elizabeth. That's what you smell by the airport and highway because it's all in the midst of both and contaminate the air.🤷🏾♂
New Jersey is actually a beautiful state 😊
@@johnconnery1939 Absolutely.👍🏾
You beat me to the punch! Jersey girl here!
I'm surprised no northern New Jersey cities made the list due to all the refineries, chemical plants, etc.
Ah yes, the Newark sulfur smell. I do remember it.
When we lived in Philly, the city was affectionately known as Filthandsmellthia. I can't believe it didn't make the list. Humidity, mountains of garbage, sewage, and refineries makes for a toxic brew.
I call it Filthyhellforya.
The refinery exploded in 2019 and was shut down. The refinery in Marcus Hook in Delaware County (Delco) is still going.
Philly stunk when I visited!
lol Filthandsmellthia
I worked in Center City. Walking over the grates on the sidewalk was overwhelming. I would hold my nose walking over them.
The aroma of Tacoma is very real.
used to be, how long has pulp plant been closed?
It is but its just saw dust. The odor is not noticeable throughout the city, but is rather concentrated in the Tacoma Tideflats and is frequently smelled by motorists traveling that section of Interstate 5
Aaaah….the aroma of Tacoma, at least the locals don’t refer to it as TaCompton anymore
@@levinpugsley9256 Hey, I DO! Because it IS! You don't want to be out after it gets dark there.
And hey, My truck does not stink! LOL!
Yep! North Everett used to smell too because of the pulp mill.
I'll add Greely, CO (meat packing facility) and cattle, and Commerce City, CO (Purina Plant). Shuu weeee
I remember college there back in the 80's...Mmmmm Smell that dairy air...😂
I'm from Colorado. And Greeley I think was the first town that came to mind. Lol.
Greeley should definitely be on this list. The "blood boil" days at the plant were the absolute worst.
Greality
Purina is in Denver (swansea)
Suncor(refinery) is in commerce city
Newark, NJ area is horrible. I would rather smell a dairy farm.
🤣🤣🤣
I was born and raised in Newark. It's nothing compared to these places.
When you're approaching the Pulaski, yeah.
I've been on the Tappenzee bridge coming into N.J. and the smell of garbage takes over before the bridge ends.
@@geec5636 The only bridges connecting NY to NJ are the GW Bridge, the Bayonne Bridge, and the Goethals Bridge. Then you have the Lincoln Tunnel, which I used quite a bit, and the Holland Tunnel. The Tappen Zee Bridge is near Tarrytown and Nyack, and totally in NY State.
This video reminded me of a funny comment I saw once:
Why is it always “NYC smells like piss” and never “my piss smells like the greatest city on the planet”
If you think Houston stinks you have not been to the Beaumont - Port Arthur area.
Or to either Lake Charles or Shreveport.
Very true, Houston is just hot, so hot I can't breath but Beaumont smells.
Houston proper isn’t horrible but Pasadena stinks from the freeway , Midland /Odessa as well many hours west
I drove through Texarkana and definitely wondered what that smell was
Big rehabilitation jail. Sweaty sick people having drug withdrawal.
Pulp smell is not bad just uncomfortable 😅
My cousin spent a couple days in San Francisco, on business. She said that the stink was still on her clothes, when she got home. She described the smell as a nasty gas-station restroom on a hot day, mixed with a 4/20 smoke-out. The damp sea air made the stink stick to everything.
Crapfornia
@@ForbinColossus She stayed in a downtown hotel.
It's not a large city like most on this list, Amarillo Texas. Amarillo isn't stinky all the time but when the wind blows in hard from the northeast the entire city will smell like the feed lots that are outside of town. During the winter it's pretty rare for Amarillo to be stinky but during the heat of the summer it can be 2 or 3 days a week.
This is off-topic but I've often wobderwd: Is Amarillo pronounced AM-A-RILL-O or AM-A-REE-O ???
@JimJoeKnoxTenn the first for the city, second for the color.
Good to know! I actually liked Amarillo when I drove through it on a cross country drive.
@@b1646717 Thanks very much -- I never considered that possible response.
I was stationed there for a couple of years and when the wind blew in from all the cattle farms in Hereford Texas my coworker who lived in the far west part of Amarillo decided to move to the far east part of town.
Augusta, Georgia…..it’s called Disgusta for a reason 😂😂😂
Yep
Yea, it's amazing how you can pass from hell into heaven when you walk through the front gates of Augusta National. Fort Gordon is right across the way.
@@dardenbunn1415 Fort Gordon is now called Fort Eisenhower.
😄😄😄
@@armandovias None of the bases needed a name change
New Orleans sure does deserve to be #1. When you smell piss, feces, and the occasional drunk passed out, you’re on Bourbon Street.
New Orleans reminds me of Fleabottom - a suburb of King's Landing.
Don't forget swamp
Betting that the drunks frequently throw up, adding some extra flavor to this odoriferous city!
I've been on bourbon Street plenty of times I've never smelled anything.
Hogs and poultry industry = stinky 😅
Also Cattle farms, I live in Perris CA, and every time I drive to San Jacinto to get to college, I pass by dairy farms that have heavy stench of cow crap. The stench is so bad that it get inside cars ac
I'd rather smell cows.
People from Gilroy are proud our town smells like Garlic part of the year.
You'll never be attacked by a vampire in Gilroy.
I would love it. lol
Here's a challenge for you. "The quietest small towns in America". No train tracks, no airports, strong anti-noise and barking dog laws. Whatever is number one on the list I'm moving to.
I’d be interested in that one too, if he could find.
Esp the dog barking and aholes loud vehicles... I'm the same, and throw in super dark skies and call it heaven.
Floyd, NM?
Yes, for me it’d be a town with no cars
Agree, also no loud motorcycles.
Hard Mileage Barbie!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂. I’m still LMAO!!!
I assume this means something.
Gary, Indiana. Drove through it in the ‘70s and threw up a little in my mouth. Paper mill!!!!!!
Steel mill actually
Whiting, IN smells worse due to BP refinery
@@damnitboy9635 if Whiting has outdone Gary in smell that I am duly impressed
I was waiting for Gary to show up on the list! Gary is putrid beyond words.
Gary is #1 on my list. Even with the car windows closed, I always got a headache driving through it on road trips. Made the mistake of stopping for gas there once…. 😵 Unf***ing-believable! I feel so sorry for the people who live there!
Midland and Odessa should be on the list.
Midland, Michigan???
@@Teddy31976no, Texas
Cheyenne Is the worst smelling city in Wyoming. They have an oil refinery, plus it’s the state capital…. So lots of politicians. Nuff said.
😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah, doesn’t smell up here in Gillette
Lol ok doesn't come close to these cities
@@Wyoboy7220 plenty of rural areas smell like sulphur and animal turds.
Plus you have all those cowboys who love to pass gas without warning.
I live outside of Dallas, it smells in Dallas because of all the new illegals here now who wear terrible smelling cologne to hide their B.O….they didn’t learn about hygiene..:never used to be like that here…::we don’t have oil refinery’s here….
Sulfur, Louisiana where the stink of sulfur is so freaking bad, holding your breath doesn’t even help…
Bradley, Maine with its paper mill is another stinkage…
Used to be the entire state.
Was at Orono in Mid-eighties. The Old Town Mill smell would settle into the fog that covered everything for several days weekly in the fall, spring, and winter.
Amazing they can get anyone to go there.
I am here just to make sure NJ is on the list several times.
Not even once. I was born and raised in NJ. As bad as it is, these places smell worse. I've been to most of them and lived in and currently live near one of them.
I was waiting for that too. "Kiss her where it smells-take her to New Jersey"
I've heard.
@@thullraven1 Still should've had atleast one city. NJ is notorious for smelling bad
Cedar Rapids finally made a list. Called it as soon as I saw the title. We don't call it city of 5 smells for nothing. Our city icon is supposed to be a tree but is referred to by locals as the toilet brush. We even have our lovingly named Mt. Trashmore. Crunch Berry day is fire tho. Thanks for the rec
There’s a Mount Trashmore near Virginia Beach too.
My cousins live in Sioux City, IA. They call it "sewer city".
I used to live in Yankton and would drive to Sioux City to go to the mall. I never noticed a smell, but maybe it wasn't the right part of the city.
I thought it stunk in the South. Chicago used to stink bad. We had the stockyards.
GREAT Review video!! thanks!! there should be a "Smell-o-meter" Rating at every City's website and Welcome Signs!! an idea for a future vid...WHICH CITIES ARE NOISEST? Some very-rural parts of W. NC have had their serenity ruined by BigCoin Data Centers!! Ughhh...... Bet there's lots of Places that waaay-too "noisy" for folks, but are "cheap enuff" that Developers build on 'em, anyway!! ie: ANY apartment complexes along Interstates, right? love your presentations!! btw...Panama City, FL recently go rid of their huge paper mill, and that's gotta help! :-)
"Hard mileage barbie" 😂
I didn't notice any really obvious bad smells when I've visited L.A., San Francisco, or Dallas. Places that overwhelmingly stank when I was there are Sioux Falls South Dakota and Terre Haute Indiana.
Terrible Haute!
The whole Fox River Valley in Wisconsin stinks from paper mills. That's Green Bay area
It's funny they call that a valley when it's flatlands as far as the eye can see. The problem with the people there is they're hillbillies without a hill.
Paper mill stank is horrid! Smells like urine! I smelled it for the first time back in 1986 in Maine. I lived in Oxnard for a few months and it was farm stink everywhere. Ditto for nearly anywhere in central California. New Orleans was swamp stinky in certain areas. Gilroy! Yes! Too pungent. 😝
Paper mill towns in the South: can confirm
My stinky memories include Pascagoula/Moss Point MS, Bogalusa LA, Ruston LA, and probably other stinky memories I’ve suppressed
And New Orleans- oh God that’s bad
Come to think of it, it’s hard to find a place in the Deep South that doesn’t stink (literally and metaphorically)
Cantonment Florida. I used to live in Pensacola, and if the wind was blowing south, the smell of the paper mill would work its way into your house.
Paper mills do stink, but you can actually get used to them. (sewage treatment plants? Not so much)
I live across the river from Camas Washington, and while they don't have a sewage plant (to my knowledge) they do have a paper mill. The first few years (if the wind was right), I could smell it. Now I never smell it.
Washougal, Washington had a pulp mill that was foul smelling. Lewiston, Idaho as well.
Is it there? I thought it was Camas. Anyway, yes. It stanks.
You beat me to it, Lewiston is awful!!!
That pulp mill has recently found a way to reduce that smell.... it really doesn't smell that bad anymore.
Doral, FL is right across the street from the county dump. During the summer, the gagging stench can leave you in tears. Punch line??? Homes and town homes within a par 3 shot from the dump run from half a mil to a mil. People ARE stupid after all.
Booneville NY. Nice spot in the woods.
And - Paper / Pulp Processing Plant...
Any city with a paper mill is rough. Used to live in Panama City, FL. Depending on the wind it can be a real eye opener.Not to mention all the standing water in the swamps.
I lived near Philadelphia during one of the garbage strikes.. That's when it became Filthadephia
Chattanooga, Tennessee. The smell is a mix of a bad sewage system, factories, especially the chicken slaughter house. It can get pretty bad 🤢
There’s a small town in northeastern Colorado that has a sugarbeet factory, dog food, factory, and a feedlot. Talk about disgusting!
Fort Morgan!
Sugarbeet plant in Moorhead, Minnesota. It doesn't stink all year round, though.
It also has the most depressing scenery known to man. It’s the polar opposite of the western half of the state, which has some of the best scenery in the country
Thank you for the video. It was not a surprise to see LA included, but SF was a shock! Have a fabulous day!
Thanks for watching!
My niece lives in SF and I go there all the time and don't notice anything wrong with the way it smells at all.
@@BsTheLadynred Because it doesnt. Its just high horse country bumpkins who think their animals and industry run off doesnt smell
I lived in SFBA and I found the odors varied depending on the districts, as Briggs mentioned the tenderloin smelt differently than the downtown shopping dining area. But the nightly fog keeps place damp, cool and keeps in odours that do exist. Bright summer sun burnt away a lot of smell. But I left before the huge homeless crush.
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs surprised Kalamazoo Michigan didn't make the list with paper mill....
Thank you. That was funny and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I lived in Jackson,ms 5 yrs. and my experience was it didnt stink just horrible roads.
Lived and worked a year there after Katrina. There was never any bad smell, just bad streets like you say.
And the people there are super friendly
You nailed it with New Orleans! Bourbon Street has to the worst smelling street I ever visited !
The problem with San Francisco is that nobody lets you use their restrooms unless you pay and the space toilets are in various states of disrepair.
I would love also included Newark, NJ and Artesia, NM to this list.
This video is hilarious 🤣 🤣 great topic Briggs
Nitro and South Charleston, WV have horrible odors from the chemical plants. If you ever do stinky international cities, Beijing, China made Los Angeles smell like fresh mountain air.
Institute and Jefferson, WV... your POS sent me down memory lane. Reminiscing the odor gave me a headache. Belle,, WV receives a dishonorable mention.
Lol! I just commented on WV!
OMG, Las Vegas totally deserves a spot on this list! 😱 I was there last year, strolling down the Strip, and let me tell you, the smell was insane, especially in the summer heat!
I remember driving through Gary, IN with all the steel mills You rolled up the windows and held your breath when you drove through town.
You should drive through Gary Indiana.
Seriously I was waiting for it to be on this list 😂
It’s definitely #1 on *my* personal list!
Shit yeah, i lived in Bogalusa, la and that place stinks. Papermill.
I live surrounded by farms with cows and corn and its doesn't smell at all. And i moved from the city.
Tracy California smells like rot.
More and more homes are built there though!
Thank you! So many people say that they can’t smell Tracy. How is that possible? Smells like liquified bumhole.
Gary, Indiana. Oof.
A joke about Cedar Rapids. Their nickname is "The City of Five Seasons". The locals call it "The City of Five Smells".
Hard Milage Barbie😅! That's priceless!
Great video! Although they're smaller, I would also add Martinez (makes my eyes water), "Smell" Segundo (due to that plant) though it's at the ocean, any place downwind of the Mobil Oil Refinery in Torrance (I speak from experience), and anywhere in moderately close proximity to Harris Ranch. I recall the parent of a Chico State student telling me about the "Chico Smell" on Sunday mornings, after a sizable portion of the student body partied harder than they were able on Saturday night. Evidence - both visual and olfactory- would make this city a contender!
We have a coworker who wears so much fragrance I nearly pass out when he hugs me. I'm part of the "no fragrance in the workplace" camp!
I'm surprised Greeley, CO isn't on this list. I lived in Fort Collins and worked as a sales rep, I had to go there sometimes and couldn't breathe through my nose without wanting to gag. Besides being surrounded by cow farms with that methane smell, the biggest slaughterhouse in the country is super close to the downtown area. When they boil the blood, it is the worst smell on the planet, it smells like pure death. The locals say they just got used to it, but I don't know if I ever could be.
I always enjoy the humor you put into your videos! :)
I love your videos, you say the funniest things,I have to watch twice because I miss stuff.😅😅
Shittsburgh, PA for sure!
lol farmers wandering around Cedar Rapids. So glad i found your channel. Liked and subscribed. Sacremento Californiana smelled to me. Total agree with NOLA, sewage odors, vomit, urinating smells prominent.
Gary, Indiana - we used to smell it as soon as we left south western Michigan. Maybe it smells better now that the steel plants and refineries have cleaned up their emissions.
"cleaned up their emissions"....they all closed.
How the hell did Sioux City, IA not make this list? It has five industrial slaughter houses in the city limits, never mind the suburban area. It seriously smells like a cow fart or pigs blood in the summer. It’s so bad some days, it could make you dry heave and hurl.
I think there is also a dog food factory right on the interstate.
You need to add Omaha, NE. If you're in the Air Force you don't want to be stationed at Offutt AFB. The stockyards. 'Nuff said. Also when I was stationed at Nellis AFB, NV. There was a factory 5-6 miles from the base that I was told produced bullion cubes. The smell was horrible.
Terre Haute smells pretty bad, in my opinion.
My grandparents lived there, and back when I was younger (1960s/70s/80s) there was a company "Commercial Solvents" that would occasionally make a peculiar odor that would hang around in certain localized areas. I've hardly been there recently, but at least from internet searches, it appears that they're no longer active.
Artesia, nm for sure. There is a refinery right in the middle of town. It's nasty
Add Roswell to that list. When I was there years ago they had a big slaughterhouse just outside town. You'd go to bed at night with the windows open and you'd hear lots of mooing. Get up in the morning and it wasn't mooing anymore. They burned the guts. In the winter that would turn into this frozen fog that covered the town and smelled like a$$.
@@LuckyBaldwin777 disgusting! That's awful 😖 I never knew that!
NOLA😂 I knew it🤣🤣 I still love it though!
Downtown New Orleans only smells year round. If you head to Mid City or the Garden District, it smells like magnolias. Also, there are no nasty homeless people
New York and New Orleans.
Both have areas that smell very bad but both are big enough that you can’t really say they smell all over
Greeley, CO stinks!!! Stockyards…so awful!!
This is a very good listing and I wholly agree with it. However, If I were developing such a listing, I wouldn’t hesitate to include Fordyce, Arkansas. My family used to visit Fordyce when my sister and I were quite young. My uncle Milton (my mother’s brother) lived there alone in a small, rundown house pretty close to a junkyard. Milton had scabs and he smelled. He smelled so bad that my sister threw up on more than one occasion. Anyway, you’ve made a very nice list of smelly places. Thanks sir.
Savannah, Georgia deserves an honorable mention.
New York Time Square. We went last summer. People peeing in the streets at night. And trash everywhere. Never again wasting my money.
Thanks! Best laugh in a long time!!!
Lol I knew Cedar Rapids would make the list. It is nicknamed the City of Five Seasons. But the local radio station calls in the City of Five Smells.
Why am i not surprised he use to work for Netflix....ROLL DAMN TIDE...
Are you talking about the washing machine soap?
great video
Briggs must never have made it to Georgia, South Carolina or West Virginia. Savannah GA, Charleston SC, and Nitro WV. All of those places are well know to be smelly.
I’ve never noticed a smell in Charleston or Savannah.
Salt Lake City. I had a one stop flight through SLC and I couldn’t wait until they closed the door and got out of there. It was overwhelming.
I do agree the women in Dallas put their perfume on with a crop duster. But, come-on Houston smells way worst than Dallas.
I can't believe Greeley CO didn't make the list. Had a friend who lived there. When she got sick the dr did a nose swab and found fecal coliform. It's in the air!
When I was a kid, I lived in Berkeley and at the time there was a Hills Brothers coffee roaster right near the end of the Bay Bridge as you entered SF from the east bay. That entire part of town smelled like burned coffee beans!
I just started watching and lived in Newberg for part of my childhood. 😂 I just about choked.
Surprised Salt Lake City with its inversion or Pittsburgh, PA with all it's steel mills didn't make the list. Pittsburgh especially, sometimes the entire city can smell like a chemical factory.
Used to live in Salt Lake City, the inversion doesn’t really smell. Rather, it is more suffocating than anything else.
What steel mills in Pittsburgh? You obviously don't live here.
Before even watching the two that we thought of was Tillamook, OR and Wausau, WI
Camas Washington used to reek to high heaven because there was a paper mill nearby.
Always entertaining, friend.
Worst I've encountered were Little Rock AR and Birmingham AL. Texarkana was definitely in the top 5.
Ah, very few swamps left around Houston. The refineries stink up Pasadena, otherwise known as Stinkadena, not Houston so much.
When I went to college in Terre Haute, the local fertilizer plant would often stink up the city with the smell of rotting fish.
I lived in Houston in late 70S early 80s and the East Side definitely Stank!☹️
NO and H Town stunk like hell when I lived in both of those places.
The smelliest city I have ever been to was Artesia, NM, and I traveled and lived in a lot of places.
I'm surprised that New York City isn't number one. No way!
Honorable mention has to go to Oklahoma City. My flight to Tulsa was diverted there because of weather and, as we passed over the oil wells, the foul sulfuric stench hit us on approach to the airport -- and didn't leave us until we took off again and were out-of-range.
Greeley Colorado…. Go there. Downtown… take a whiff
Reading, PA will smell on days when the wind is coming out of the east; mushroom growers are east of the city.
Beaumont TX is another VERY stinky city. Smells mostly of oil refineries but also swamp. Horrible.
