19. Seattle, WA

Although the Emerald City has historically been recognized as a great place to live, it's now becoming one of the worst. As Seattle's tech and music scene boomed, the cost of living, especially for housing, soared. The lack of affordable housing has led to a rapid rise in homelessness, with more than 5700 people living on the streets. Other issues accompany the homeless problem, including higher addiction rates and widespread mental health issues.

  • Unemployment rate: 2.8%
  • Median household income: $97,185
  • Walk Score ranking: 74 (very walkable)
