what is going on everyone how's the weather treating you currently where I
am it's snowing blowing with the chance of being shut in for a few days but hey
that's life in the Pacific Northwest right how about we talk about a state
that's currently sitting in the mid 70s and pleasant the Magnolia state
Mississippi Mississippi is most often considered the worst state in the Union
right behind Arkansas and for good reason Mississippi is one of the worst
education systems in the country a failing economy and out-of-control
poverty they also lead the nation in obesity on the plus side of Magnolia
state you have the people and the cost of living there's something down to
earth and honest about the people of Mississippi my biological father is
originally from just outside of Meridian and I spent a few summers there in the
backwoods of chunky Mississippi that's right called chunky River they're called
the chunky River so obviously the names have something to do with each other now
another great thing about this state like I said is the cost of living it is
dirt cheap to live in the state of Mississippi the average resident keeps
about 50% of their income that's after taxes and living expenses you still have
half your money you earned which most other states it's somewhere in the 42
area it's it's not good but Mississippi has that part together and that's a big
plus so Mississippi isn't all that bad today's video is about one bad aspect of
life in the Magnolia state the worst town's they have a lot of them so I'm
going to pick out ten we're gonna go with it let's take a look at my top 10
worst towns in Mississippi number 10 flora Mississippi floors the town named
after an early resident flora man Jones and is located just northwest of Jackson
the town is doing horribly when it comes to education now the student-teacher
ratio was really low giving the students more one-on-one time but for some reason
the average test score 65 percent lower than the national average this usually
kind of tells you its resources the teachers aren't getting what they need
just my opinion with a little bit of background to it anyway the poverty
level in flora is a hundred and sixty-one percent higher than the
national average there's a lot of broke people here now remember when I said the
people of Mississippi are good people this is a perfect example it's a very
poor community with very low crime you never see that but this town is still in
bad shape the average rent in Mississippi is the lowest in the nation
and the town of flora is 38% lower than that and stop typing there's nothing
wrong with cheap Brent unless it's crazy cheap then you got to start wondering
why is it so cheap floor is a perfect example number nine Delille mississippi
Delille is located along the Wolf River near where the river lets into the st.
Louis Bay nothing to do with st. Louis Missouri being so close to the water the
cost of living is relatively high for the area which is to be expected for
being a coastal town the goods and services index is nearly 10 percent
higher than the state's average in the housing index is 92 percent higher than
the state average the overall cost living here is about 32% higher than the
rest of the state now this is where it gets weird
the unemployment in Delille is 84 percent higher than the national average
and the poverty level in Delille is a hundred percent higher than the national
average yet the overall crime rate in Delille is 85% lower than the national
average see good people like I said before they're dirt poor they don't have
jobs but they ripping each other off but the downside like the rest of
Mississippi they have a school system that should be scrapped and just start
from scratch only 70% of the people in Delille have completed high school those
aren't good numbers number eight Durant Mississippi Durant was founded in 1858
as a station on the Mississippi Central Railroad today the population is less
than 2500 that have little to no work the income per capita here is twelve
thousand dollars with the poverty level at two hundred one percent higher than
the national average that's not good and guess what the schools here suck as well
only about 72 percent of the people in Durant have completed high school Durant
is another one that doesn't have a lot of crime but last October Durant police
say two men got into a fight at a beauty store one man pulled a knife and stabbed
the other one and he went into critical condition that's how many times he got
stabbed multiple times what went wrong in your life that gets you to the point
where you feel pulling a knife on a dude while shopping for cucumber face wash is
a good idea number seven Walnut Mississippi the town of walnut is
very small town of only 750 residents this town has apparently come to the
conclusion that all that readin stuff is overrated the average school test score
here is 57% lower than the national average and the graduation rate is about
67% walnut was established in 1872 on belonging to Henry Hopkins an early
settler and town founder basically the town was initially called Hopkins but
was changed to walnut in 1876 so so much for honoring the founder you swapped the
name out four years later I wonder if he was still alive and in town when they
changed the name that would be awkward you're the toast of the town one day the
next day you walk into the local bar and ask hey anyone know anything about that
sign on Main Street that says walnut nobody says a word or makes eye contact
with you they just stare at their drink awkward number six
mayor's ville Mississippi this little town of about 550 people is on the banks
of the Mississippi River in the Mississippi Delta mayors Ville is not a
place for employment it's actually said to be one of the worst places in the
state for jobs and unless they've had some drastic changes since let's say
Tuesday it still is a really bad place to get a job the income per capita is
only six thousand dollars a year that's 79 percent lower than the national
average and that leaves the town's poverty at about two hundred seven
percent higher than the national average and again bad everything but crime they
got a A+ rating for crime the hell Mississippi number five derma
Mississippi finally a town with some crime in the Magnolia state derma has
been the center of so many crimes it's mind-blowing this is a town with only
about 900 residents but the year-over-year crime rate has spiked a
hundred and eighty seven percent in the past year there's been a bunch of crimes
including countless burglaries of fast-food establishments post office was
robbed the church was robbed and a gas station was robbed and most recently a
man from derma was charged with the 2016 murder those DNA services are just given
people up left and right the poverty level in Deraa is 169 percent higher
than the national average I'm so happy to find a bad town with bad
poverty and bad crime in Mississippi it's the way it should be the universe
feels balanced again number 4 bude ms asipi you dislocated right outside the
northern area the home of Chitto national force and god i hope i
pronounced that right the overall crime rate is 47 percent higher than the
national average while it has been decreasing by two percent last year
crime is still so bad that the community network panel had a meeting last month
discussing how the police will approach the organized crime in the area
organized crime in a town of a thousand people are you kidding
this is a town that on their Wikipedia page lists their economy as a diner
nothing else but a diner and they have organized crime this town shouldn't even
have internet the poverty rate in Butte is 186 percent higher than the national
average number three by heylia mississippi by hailey is a small town of
just twelve hundred residents as of 2018 the violent crime rate in the town was
71 percent higher than the mississippi average efforts are being made to better
the town in this category and it's expected that the crime rate in 2019
will be lower than 2018 however in late 2018
this didn't help their stats but there was a hit-and-run in a high-speed chase
in a small town that really kind of screws your rate only 69 percent of the
people in by halia have completed high school and the average school test score
in bajalia is 63 percent lower than the national average and to round things off
the poverty level in this town is a hundred forty five percent higher than
the national average don't move here number two
Crosbie Mississippi Crosby Mississippi is located within the Houma Chito
National Forest again that's national force I can't pronounce it I hope that's
right I've looked it up like three times sounds right
other people have set at five different ways but we're going with Houma Chitto
the population of Crosby is 285 residents this is not an ideal place
when you need a job I mean you always need one unless you decide to live off
the grid Neath tree bark and drink pond water or you're 37 still live with your
parents so you can work on your art and that's just a made-up story that has
nothing to do with any of my cousins since it is a made-up story we should
give that character a name let's call them dye Cole Riggs and that has nothing
to do with my cousin Michael the unemployment rate in Crosby is 115
percent higher than the national average the poverty level in Crosby is 195
percent higher than the national average don't move - Crosby especially if your
name's Michael Riggs and number one Tutwiler Mississippi Tutwiler is a small
town of only about a thousand residents not including the ever-growing
population of the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility problematic
inmates from South Carolina and Vermont Wyoming have recently transferred to
this facility in the town why Vermont why why Oh me I don't know I get South
Carolina it's in the south and it's somewhat close but Vermont
is that what they do to convicts in Vermont and Wyoming to threaten them
that they're gonna transfer them to Mississippi if you threaten to move me
to Mississippi I would put whatever I was doing that was offending anyone
there's no way I don't care if I was just going there to work at the local
dairy queen I would not be doing what I was being accused of to get me sent to
Mississippi 62 percent of the people in Tutwiler have completed high school
that's not a good number folks I don't know if you've been following along but
when only 62 percent of the people in town have graduated high school that's
not good the overall crime rate is only 64 percent higher than the national
average so it's not terrible but the crime rate has been increasing by 94
percent year-over-year stay out of Tutwiler Tutwiler is the worst town in
Mississippi for this list all right that's my top 10 worst towns in
Mississippi I hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some information out of it
