According to Business Insider, their list used census data from a thousand cities and focused on opportunities, devastation from natural disasters, crime and addiction rate as well as abandoned houses.

They add the caveat that these are "Not the worst, just the most miserable." As if that makes it any better.

California had the most number of cities on the list with 10. So it could always be worse.

Detroit was named the third-most miserable story by Business Insider, Flint was the ninth and Saginaw was the 33rd.

Gary, Indiana, ranked as the number one most miserable city, with Port Arthur Texas coming in at number two.
