10 Places in TEXAS You Should NEVER Move To

hey guys we've started a whole new channel and soon won't be uploading to this channel as often the new channel is called planet snacks the link's in the description it's going to be about the same type of stuff but less negative anyways it'll be awesome even better than this one if you like what i've been doing then please go and subscribe howdy texas sure is a great place in many areas it's the lone star state where everything is great right not always just like every state in the u.s of a there's good and a lot of bad the goal today is to talk about the worst places you could live in texas these are the places that just about everyone here would agree are pretty crummy and as more californians and folks south of the border continue to spill into this gem of the state we might see more and more towns villages and small cities get worse and worse so sad so sad in order to determine which are the worst places in texas we just had to look at worst things that means statistics like crime poverty and bad schools the type of stuff most texans tend to avoid so grab some barbecue and throw in your boots as we mosey on through the worst places you can live in the state of texas [Music] we begin our journey along the worst places you can live in texas and the small city of colleen just off of i-35 west temple however as most colleen residents will tell you if you stay away from bars and clubs late at night you'll likely be much safer colleen is without any real redeeming features full of rundown strip malls pawn shops payday loan companies and bars being near fort hood a lot of the population is a transient population and many people just get stuck here [Music] on the bright side colleen does have incredibly cheap home prices though look at this chart the average home price is 120 000 that's far below the national average there's a reason home prices are so low it's a crummy place we built this city we built this city and now it sucks our next stop along our worst texas tour brings us to cleveland texas this is a much smaller place the population here is only about seven thousand cleveland's along i-69 northeast of houston cleveland might be one of the poorest areas in texas households average about 38k a year in combined income and a quarter of residents here live below the poverty line if you enjoy trailer parks and shopping at walmart then you'd fit right in in c-town the only good thing about cleveland is that they have a water burger we love water burger what the mrs mappy you work at whataburger now what happened to your job at walmart working at walmart's the pits this is where all the action's at oh my gosh is that dak prescott yes he says he can get me a job as a cheerleader get me out of this dead-end job for good oh man mrs mappy thinks she's gonna be a dallas cowboys cheerleader she just had a baby two weeks ago okay so as we try to understand exactly what's happening here we're gonna take a quick stop on our eighth worst place you can live in texas hutchins here in hutchins things aren't very good this teeny city of about 5200 people is just outside the dallas belt line here the grades are just atrocious as are or were the schools in fact hutchins schools were so bad they closed the district a few years back and rolled him into the dallas independent school district the only good grades in hutchins are for the cost of living in home prices which means it's really cheap to live here for a reason however we spotted this fine looking home in hutchins for three hundred thousand dollars looks like we can actually schedule a private tour of this gem of a home hutton's amazing properties this is tuna can i help you your name is tuna how can i help you find your hutchins dream home hey so i was looking at this house on hickman street and i was wondering why it's so expensive isn't hutchins kind of a bad place hutchins is actually quite beautiful in fact it was voted as the 44th best place to live in dallas county yeah right excuse me okay it's time to move on to our seventh worst place to live in texas el paso down in the texas town of el paso things couldn't be any worse than today and according to the sort of defunct app foursquare el paso is considered the rudest city in the entire country and the second rudest city in the whole world for all english-speaking cities do they still speak english in el paso though for things to do there is a lot more to do than the other cities we mentioned so far of course there's a university here and some mountains to hike in and you can go to juarez for a thrill and does having more 99-cent stores than anywhere else on earth count for something have you ever watched live pd seems like people are cray-cray here in el paso on a nightly basis el paso must be really bad if it's worse than texarkana i mean that's the town that dreads sundown our next stop along our worst place to live in texas tour stops in donna this little city of 15 000 is located in the far southeastern tip of the state between mcallen and brownsville it's one of the more dangerous places in texas in fact a large part of this area of the rio grande valley ranks really high for crime look at this chart purple is donna household incomes and home prices are very low here as well basically don is a small town with a high unemployment rate where there's not a lot to do in the general vicinity except list in a police sirens did you know donna's named after a post office worker who lived here in 1908 i did not know that mappy but she must have delivered mail on time quite regularly to have an entire town named after so i see you're still watching the kids oh and i saw mrs mappy earlier she's working at whataburger now and guess what she's hanging out with dak prescott now that's okay he can have her i'm dating someone else myself now really mappy who jessica simpson what holy crap happy i forgot she's from texas wow good for you do you think i can get her autograph i loved her in employee of the month i don't think so she's not biting on fans right now wow so mappy's dating a superstar mrs mappy's running around with dak prescott's entourage i can clearly see they've both stepped up their game big time we'll be right back hey yo this video is brought to you in part by clippers on martin luther king avenue in sunnyside come on and get your hair done they do it tied in right that's cliffos on mlk gee we're halfway through our tour of the most worstest cities to live in the entire state of texas and we're gonna stop in at number five humble you don't say the h but you do say the h in horrible and for me the people who live in humble that's just what this north houston suburb population 15133 is this place was one of the biggest oil producing fields in the state of texas now it's the third most dangerous place in the state of texas and it ranks first in the state for property crimes like houston umbol is a case of the haves and have-nots it has a low economic outlook and significantly high number of convenience drug and discount stores our fourth worst place to live in the state of texas is none other than port arthur here home prices are the 16th lowest in texas the unemployment rates in the top 10 percent and crime is in the top 5 percent port arthur looks like it was a bustling port city decades ago but then everyone just left buildings are boarded up windows are broken and streets are in disrepair it's definitely a very depressing place locals call it bad for many reasons it's home to the largest oil refinery in the usa too now we're pretty pro oil on this channel but we have to say it would be best to commute into port arthur for work and not have to live in port arthur permanently hey now we're in the top three worst places you can live in texas as we come to rob'stown if you're uninitiated as to how bad this corpus christi burb is know this people who live in corpus christi routinely knock rob's town for being a real dump as if corpus christi isn't bad itself a ton of people in robstown are out of work more than eight percent which is terrible in today's economic climate jobs are leaving you can understand why the average home price in texas is 151 k rob's towns is 50k 35 percent of this city lives in poverty which is more than double the state average plus the crime rates more than double the state average too here's what rob's town used to look like and it kind of sort of still does look like that who's our runner-up as the worst place in texas belle mead is more than a quarter of the population needs major government assistance to survive in belle mead and this small city at 9 000 just outside of waco has a whopping 2 300 crimes per capita which is in the top 10 percent in the whole country and six times the national average do they even have whataburgers in bellmed mappy yes there's a water burger here located on north loop 340. huh well at least they have that i was telling someone the other day that the only thing texas liked more than water burgers hey karen how was dating dak prescott nfl superstar fine how was dating jessica simpson former wannabe singer hey baby hey oh looks like your side hustles just ran off with one another so you guys are both single again that's great now you can rekindle your relationship nappy i'm willing to give this a try again i love you i love you too karen oh what man this totally became the most heartwarming episode ever i kind of feel like we can only make this video get bad karma if we name the worst place to live in texas now but we will anyways the worst place to live in texas is southeast houston after dark that's right of all the places you can live in texas living in parts of houston after dark is the worst in particular are two areas of distinction first off is houston's historic third ward a broad geographic area that includes university of houston and texas southern university the crime rate here is really high and residents here have a 1 in 13 chance of becoming the victim of a crime each year but even worse is the houston neighborhood of sunnyside a historically black community located off texas 288 south of downtown houston this is actually the sixth most dangerous neighborhood in the entire country where residents have a 1 in 11 chance of being the victim of a crimey cheer fact is southeast houston along martin luther king boulevard between the 610 loop and beltway 8 is the worst place you can live in the entire state even worse than the crummy border towns with nothing to do what else is missing here what are burgers there isn't one for miles here it's a big fat whataburger black hole i can only imagine what went on here during hurricane harvey i'll never take my kids to southeast houston according to my data my family would never make it out of there alive southeast houston is probably scarier than my basement at night i would never go there even if i had mr cuddles with me yeah it looks like the kind of place where bad people do bad things that's right mappy family you guys stay away from this part of the state in fact you'd be wise to stay away from all the places we talked about in this video hey mappy i'm looking closer at little ricky he's starting to look less and less like you all the time his skin is getting darker uh-oh [Music] you
