There are 91 incorporated cities and towns in the entire state of Arizona, but only one has been named the worst in the state to live in: Tucson.
That’s right, the city of Tucson was named the worst city in Arizona to live in, according to MSN.com. The southern Arizona city was ranked the worst to live in because of its high poverty and unemployment rates and slow economic growth.
The poverty rate in Tucson is 25.2 percent, the highest of any large city in Arizona and higher than the national average of 14.7 percent.
The city’s economy has also grown slower than most cities in recent years, according to the website, and the city’s unemployment rate remains “slightly above the national rate,” with the city’s jobs rising by just 2.1 percent from 2013 to 2015.
