Cicero, Illinois
Known for being Al Capone’s “private playground” back in the 1920s, the city is still struggling with that reputation. Sadly, Cicero has had a large problem with gang activity for years now. In 1999, the city voted to make gang members leave within 60 days or face a $500 fine.

Port Arthur, Texas
Since 2005, Port Arthur had been hit by three different hurricanes, leaving behind a lot of destruction. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 cost the city $1.3 billion in damages. Town officials are nervous that people will keep leaving and that will result in the population falling below 50,000 people. This could make it eligible for federal grants.
