I'd question the criteria of any survey which ranks Baltimore only #14. What are they smoking to rank Philadelphia (#42) ahead of Salt Lake City (#32)? And Los Angeles and Oakland aren't even on the list!

Lubbock may get bad marks only because it is relatively isolated and tornado prone, but it baffles me why they would make the list otherwise. There isn't anything wrong with isolation if you have everything you need.

On this list, being “14” is worse than being “42” or “32.”

Number one was Detroit.

Details at the report site: Lubbock because 22% poverty and twice the violent crime of Texas or US.

They are not using the same criteria I would.

Lubbock, the little I know from being there just once, seemed clean, peaceful, sunny, if windy...

Re: Lubbock, TX

I'll guess ethnicity may play a role.

In 2010, Lubbock was 45% non-white, including almost 9% Black.
