    The Next Generation Is Leaving the Faith Earlier Than You Realize
    Posted on Wednesday, October 04 @ 00:00:05 PDT (0 reads)
    College Guide The next generation is often leaving the faith while under the supervision of parents who believe they’re passing on their religious values. by aaron earls when church leaders imagine young people turning away from christianity, they may picture a college student being convinced by an atheist professor or an older high schooler getting a driver’s license and using their newfound freedom to leave church behind. In reality, the secularization of the next generation may look more like a 14-year-old watching youtube in their room. new analysis published at the institute for family studies (ifs) reveals children born in the 1980s and ’90s never absorbed the faith in their home. And they walked away from it at an earlier age than most parents and leaders suspect. in the early 1990s, no more than 16% of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders said religion was not important to them at all, according to the monitoring the future survey series. By the early 2000s, however, the percentage of high school seniors who completely dismissed the importance of religion to them personally began to increase dramatically. for close to a decade, sophomores were more like 8th graders, with both hovering around 15%. But around 2010, 10th graders became more like 12th graders in terms of their disregard for religion. A few years later, the percentage of 8th graders who said religion is not at all important began to rapidly increase. in the latest study, close to 30% of seniors and sophomores and almost 25% of 8th graders said they didn’t consider religion to have any importance. when does secularization happen? one explanation for this could be fewer parents saying religion is important to them. More secular parents may be passing on their lack of faith to their children. But the ifs analysis also looked at a 2019 pew research study that asked both children and parents about the importance of religion. at age 13, there is little difference between the percentage of teenagers who self-report that religion is not at all important and the percentage of parents who say religion is not important to their child. A gap emerges at 14. This gap is sizeable by 15 when more than 20% of teenagers say religion is not at all important. there’s no real increase in secularization among teenagers after they reach 15. The shift away from religion occurs before then. Meanwhile, parents’ perception stays flat across the age range at around 10-15% who say religion is unimportant for their child. additionally, the national longitudinal survey of youth (nlsy) followed the religious affiliation of those born between 1980-86 until around age 30. “Of nlsy respondents surveyed at age 13, around 12% were nonreligious. By age 17, 17% were nonreligious,” reported research fellow lyman stone in the ifs report. “religious affiliation wasn’t surveyed for a few young adult years, but then by age 21, about 21-23% of these young people were nonreligious, a share that has been essentially unchanged until today. In other words, this cohorts’ rise in secularism occurred by age 21, and much of it by age 17.” Yet, only 7% of parents report raising their children with no religion between the ages of 13-17. stone concludes that “most nonreligious children are born into religious households and lose their faith while under the supervision of parents who believe that they are successfully transmitting their religious values.” sweet 16 similarly, the most recent lifeway research study of teenage church dropouts found 66% of those who attended a u.S. Protestant church regularly for at least a year also stopped attending for at least a year as a young adult. Similarly to the ifs analysis, teenagers often begin their religious separation prior to their college years. Sixteen is often a pivotal age for those dropping out of church. At that age, the attendance rates start to diverge for those who stay in church as adults and those who drop out. The next few years become the church dropout danger zone when most teenagers leave behind regular church involvement. 6 practical keys to retaining teenagers so what can churches do? Further regression analysis of the lifeway research dropout data reveals factors that make teenagers more likely to stop attending church as they become young adults. Some of it falls on the teenagers themselves or their parents. But other issues involve the church. 3 home factors make sure dad shows up. It matters that dads are involved. The odds of a teenager dropping out of church are 1.27 times lower among those whose fathers attended church compared to those whose fathers did not attend at age 17. enjoy church as a family. It should be obvious to students that their parents find joy in being a part of their congregation. For those who did not indicate that their parents genuinely liked church, the odds of dropping out are 1.49 times higher than those who report their parents really liked their congregation. encourage personal bible reading. Teenagers who personally engage god in his word are less likely to drop out. The odds of dropping out are 1.23 times higher among those who did not spend regular time reading the bible privately prior to the age of 18 compared to those who regularly spent personal time in scripture. 3 church factors foster an environment of trust and guidance. The odds of a teenager dropping out are 1.23 times higher among those who did not want the church to help guide their decisions in everyday life prior to age 18 compared to those who wanted such help. youth leaders should care. The more a student feels their leader cares about them, the less likely they are to drop out. For every additional level of agreement with the statement “the youth leader genuinely cared about me” (from strongly disagree to strongly agree), the odds of the teenager dropping out were 1.17 times lower. get more adults involved. When teenagers have more adults investing in them, they’re more likely to stick around. The odds of a teenager dropping out who said three or more adults at church invested in them between the ages of 15 and 18 is 1.35 times lower than those who had only one or two adults investing in them. Even more dramatically, the odds of those who had three or more adults investing in them are 2.65 times lower than those who had no adults investing in them at church during those ages. for permission to republish this article, please email . aaron earls aaron is the senior writer at lifeway research.

    Spelling Bees And Brilliant People Of Color (Part 2) – Gathering Books
    Posted on Wednesday, October 04 @ 00:00:05 PDT (0 reads)
    College Guide Myra here. This year, we hope to feature books that fit any of the following criteria: - postcolonial literature and/or [pre/post] revolutionary stories - stories by indigenous / first-nation peoples / people of colour - narratives of survival and healing, exile and migration, displacement and dispossession - books written or illustrated by people who have been colonized, oppressed, marginalized - translated or international literature i am currently leading a [summer undergraduate research experience (2023) project](https://gatheringbooks.Org/un-sdg-booklist/) with students from our college. We are curating a set of diverse picturebook titles published over the past 13 years (2010-2023) that portray the 17 sdgs. I have created the above page to share our booklist with everyone once the research is completed. This picturebook is perfect for sdg 16: peace, justice, and strong institutions. Spanish is the language of my family ( [amazon](https://amzn.To/48qlihe)) written by michael genhart illustrated by john parra published by neal porter books (2023) isbn: 9780823450046 (isbn10: 082345004x) borrowed via libby. Book photos taken by me. Two weeks back, i shared a picturebook biography of master speller, macnolia cox in [how do you spell unfair?](Https://gatheringbooks.Org/2023/09/20/nonfiction-wednesday-235/) by carole boston weatherford and frank morrison ( [amazon](https://amzn.To/48jziog)). I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this picturebook i have been meaning to get to for the longest time now also has to do with a master speller – except that this time, the language is in spanish, and the country where the school is located is in the united states of america. Technically, this isn’t really a non-fiction title, but is based on the lived experiences of michael genhart’s mexican american family in the 1940s, with a detailed afterword, and a list of bibliographical references at the end. The story opens with a young boy signing up for the spanish spelling bee, because as he noted “spanish is the language of my family.” I thought it was very clever how the book creators framed the insertion of spanish words and their meaning as part of this young boy’s growing repository or oeuvre of spanish words he needed to learn as part of the competition. As his abuela helps him prepare for the spelling bee, abuela shared about her own experience as a young child growing up in the united states and how they were forbidden to speak spanish and was only mandated to speak in english while in the school premises. It was a rule that was stringently implemented with this boy’s abuela and aunt being severely punished when they broke the rule: such as having their mouths washed with soap or being spanked and sent home for speaking their own language – an act considered a mortal offence by teachers and school leaders. This reminded me of my own experience studying in an all-girls private school in the philippines run by nuns, where the rule of speaking in english was also strictly implemented. I am not sure what the justification for this ruling was, but we were made to pay ‘fines’ for speaking in filipino – i also don’t know where the money goes for each peso we were asked to pay for speaking our own language. It was simply taken as a matter of course that this is done. These stories by his abuela inspired the young boy to practice even harder and to persevere – knowing the many privileges he now enjoys which were denied to his own family members. The extensive afterword indicates how the practice of silencing languages other than english was the norm from the 1930s to the 1960s. As the book creators noted: … students who spoke spanish in school were scolded, punished (including paying fines or serving detention), and humiliated. On occasion a ‘board of education’ paddle was used to spank a child for every spanish word that was spoken. Spanish was seen as a disability, not a strength. Denying spanish in school made these kids feel like they were less than, and the impact of this shaming resulted in low self-esteem and self-worth, as well as a high dropout rate in schools. The accumulation of this emotional harm to multitudes of people of latin american heritage is a kind of historical and generational trauma – one which will require time and effort to heal (including telling the story of what occurred). The history of the national spanish spelling bee which first started in 2011 was also included in detail, alongside the growing number of bilingual programs to provide support for culturally and linguistically diverse learners. I was also intrigued to find out about the bilingual education act of 1968 by a texan senator named ralph yarborough, upheld by the supreme court as a law in 1974. This was amended to the no child left behind act in 2001 and the every student succeeds act in 2015. All this adds a layer of authenticity to the entire narrative – and john parra’s unparalleled art – as per usual can be unmistakably recognized for being distinctly his in lines, movement, and color. In the author’s dedication, he offered this story as “healing and celebration.” I continue to be amazed at the generosity of spirit of people whose history is marred by oppression and unnecessary cruelty and were systematically made to feel inferior – and less than who they actually are – because of the color of their skin, their zip code, their passports, the language they speak. I put this under sdg 16 given its goal to provide access to justice for all and strengthen accountability and inclusive practices among all institutions, including educational institutions. We need to do better as educators, and this story is a reminder of how far we have come, and how much we still need to do to engage students who are often perceived as ‘the others’ in their classrooms. #Decolonizereading2023 update: 88 out of target 100

Music — the record label he established in 2004 — before sounding he regretted giving what he felt were some of his best beats to the aforesaid names.

Though not as dominant as power players netflix, hulu, and disney+, apples streaming service has proven its worth with memorable content. the morning show, severance, and ted lasso are just some of the scripted titles that have won acclaim for the platform.

Lets look at the best new movies arriving on the platform this july and everything audiences should know about them. this golden state warriors point guard is regarded as one of the all-time greatest basketball players. Specifically, hes often singled out as the leagues best shooter. Curry debuted with the golden state warriors in the 2009 season, where he has been ever since. The warriors won the nba finals with curry in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022 and finished as runner-ups in 2016 and 2019. Given currys status as a modern basketball icon, this documentary is definitely one to watch. stephen curry: underrated comes from director peter nicks, known for his documentaries on contemporary social issues. Nicks films include the waiting room, a documentary on a california safety-net hospital, the force, which depicted reforms at the oakland police department, and an episode of pbs air: americas investigative reports on the iraq war. Just from that filmography alone, we can tell this will be a very different outing for the seasoned filmmaker. underrated begins with currys 2008 ncaa tournament run with the davidson wildcats. It follows him through his entire run with the warriors, culminating in their most recent nba finals victory in the 2021-22 season. That victory also earned curry the nba finals mvp award. The documentary will showcase how curry rose from an average college player to one of the leagues most dominant champions. First premiering at sundance on january 23, 2023, underrated will stream on apple tv+ on july 21, 2023, in addition to a select theatrical release. shifting gears, this movie closely examines one of the biggest pop culture fads of the 90s: the immortal beanie baby. based on zac bissonnettes book the great beanie baby bubble: mass delusion and the dark side of cute, this film illustrates the so-called dark side of the smiling, plush stuffed animal industry. College dropout ty warner established the brand in the early 90s with no significant distribution or advertising plan. however, warner struck gold, as the stuffed babies skyrocketed in popularity thanks in large part to collectors. Beanie babies have been called one of the first modern internet-era consumer crazes. Those who experienced the 90s will remember that the craze died out just as fast as it began, with the stuffed critters going from priceless to worthless practically overnight. the beanie bubble will pull back the curtain on the hidden secrets of the brands success. In particular, it centers on three women who helped ty warner propel the company to success. Eagle-eyed fans may note the red heart with the word ty on each babys tag. But none of the women who helped warner got to see their names on a tag. The beanie bubble explores how the system quite literally broke the women as it bounces back and forth from the 80s to the 90s. zach galifianakis leads the cast as stuffed animal magnate ty warner. elizabeth banks is robbie, warners business partner. Successions sarah snook plays sheila, a mother of two and love interest for warner, and geraldine viswanathan is maya, a tech genius at the height of the early 90s internet boom. Additional cast members include kurt yaeger, tracey bonner, and carl clemons-hopkins. Viewers can take in the story of the sinister side of the stuffed babies when the film premieres on apple tv+ on july 28, with a select theatrical release coming one week earlier on july 21. This biographical drama centers on a florida-based product design major and his three roommates. The group accidentally creates a life-saving medical device and instantly comes into money and success. They begin to turn on each other after tasting their newfound riches, showing why going into business with friends is anything but a safe bet. no release date is currently attached to this picture, though apple tv+ aims for an unspecified date in july. by subscribing, you agree to our [privacy policy](/page/privacy-policy/) and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.

    25 Dumbest Cities in America
    Posted on Wednesday, October 04 @ 00:00:05 PDT (0 reads)
    College Guide In this article, we will take a look at the 25 dumbest cities in america. In the past 50 years, the united states has made a lot of progress in fighting poverty. For example, child mortality rates and deaths from heart disease have gone down by about 70%. But the number of poor americans has stayed the same, going up during recessions and down during good times. Different ways to count the poor, like the supplemental poverty measure in 2011, which found three million more poor people, may be to blame for the lack of growth. Access to cheap goods made in large quantities does not guarantee stable housing, inexpensive medical and dental care, or good care for children. The american working class and working poor are being taken advantage of as consumers in the housing and financial markets. For example, rent is going up faster than renters’ wages. Poor families, especially black families, don’t have many options for where to live. This is because landlords in poor areas make twice as much money as landlords in wealthy neighborhoods. Banks don’t like to give out small mortgages and keep people out of public housing, so low-income families have to rent from private landlords and spend at least half of their income on rent and expenses. A pew research center analysis found that lower-income americans are most harmed by covid-19’s economic repercussions. In august 2020, 13,200 u.S. Adults were surveyed, and one in four had trouble paying their bills since the outbreak, a third had to dip into savings or retirement accounts, and one in six had borrowed money or food from friends or family. Low-income folks, non-college graduates, and black and hispanic americans continue to have these experiences. Americans, especially low-income, black, and hispanic adults, have used more resources due to the coronavirus outbreak. Over 10% of low-income adults have borrowed money, obtained food from a food bank or charity, or received government aid. Since february, 15% of u.S. Individuals have received unemployment benefits, a significant source of income. People who are poor may miss payments, have bad credit, or have no credit score at all. This can make it hard for them to rent an apartment, buy insurance, or get a job. To stop the exploitation of workers, anti-poverty programs should focus on giving workers more power by renewing contracts with american workers, encouraging sectoral bargaining, giving low-income families more housing choices, and giving first-time homeowners more money. Fair access to capital is important, and banks should stop stealing billions of dollars from poor and near-poor people every year by charging them outrageous overdraft fees. Meanwhile, taking the top spot on our list of the [25 dumbest states in america](https://www.Insidermonkey.Com/blog/25-dumbest-states-in-america-1196605/?Singlepage=1) is mississippi. Mississippi’s status as one of the most economically challenged states can be attributed to a range of factors. It holds the unfortunate distinction of being identified as the state with the lowest socioeconomic status nationwide. The delta region, in particular, is predominantly inhabited by influential cotton farmers who own large-scale mechanized plantations. These farmers are the main recipients of a substantial portion of the extensive federal subsidies directed toward the state. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to highlight that a lot of people in the region still face economic circumstances, living as rural laborers without land ownership. These things make mississippi one of the worst big cities to live in usa. Our methodology the average income, the poverty rate, and the unemployment rate are the three factors that are considered while ranking the 25 dumbest cities in america. These are the elements that render a city uninhabitable and uncomfortable, as well as those that contribute to the general deterioration of economic well-being. In addition, the population of the cities that applied had to be at least 250,000 in order for them to be considered. The figure assures that there are a sufficient number of people living in a city to determine whether or not it can be categorized as one of the stupidest cities in the united states. This list of the 25 dumbest cities in america was built using data from nine independent sources. You can take a look at our [25 dumbest cities in the us in 2018](https://www.Insidermonkey.Com/blog/25-dumbest-cities-in-the-us-in-2018-659656/) article and see how the rankings have changed. 25 dumbest cities in america 25. San jose population: 930,862 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 7.4% unemployment rate: 3.6% average annual income per family: $133,835 even though san jose is a prosperous city with a thriving culture and business, it is not without its drawbacks. Residents should budget for a high standard of living due to the median home value and anticipate additional costs. The city’s focus on pedestrians may make it difficult for motorists. There are some scorching days, but the city is often not as hot as nearby mckinney, texas. With these reasons in mind, san jose easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 24. Seattle population: 725,487 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 11% unemployment rate: 3.6% average annual income per family: $115,409 seattle has high housing costs, 40–50% of the take-home salary. The city has dreary skies most of the year due to its rainy climate. Traffic in seattle is notorious, with rush hour lasting five hours a day and the city in utter standstill. Seattle’s housing market is also not diverse, with many residents renting rather than buying. Starter homes in seattle cost $799,000 and rise annually. Moreover, the city contains 10 cities and the third-highest homeless population in the us. Drug usage is widespread. The city is trying to solve homelessness, a serious humanitarian issue. Wildfires are increasing, generating dense black smoke and bad air quality, which drives inhabitants out of seattle. Lack of service, high traffic, and delayed buses and trains plague public transportation. While seattle has possibilities, living car-free is not easy. All these things considered, seattle easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 23. San francisco population: 715,717 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 11.3% unemployment rate: 3.7% average annual income per family: $136,692 homelessness, drug abuse, rising crime, and the closing of businesses have all contributed to san francisco’s downfall in recent years. The covid-19 outbreak and the subsequent shift in employment practices caused a mass exodus that persisted into 2022. San francisco and the bay area shrank even more slowly than before. As a result of the pandemic, many people outside of the city have decided not to relocate there, and the city’s pace and lifeline have changed. As a result, numerous structures are now either mostly or entirely empty, hurting retail and tearing the city apart from its previous cohesive state. As of 2022, it is predicted that 7,754 individuals will be homeless. Due in part to the loss of jobs, the city is also experiencing a rise in crime. Due to an increase in larceny and thefts in san francisco, target has decided to reduce nighttime hours at several of its shops in 2021. Walgreens said it was forced to shut down five outlets in the area because of a spike in “organized retail crime.” The city’s recent downfall demonstrates the importance of diversity and adaptability in the face of economic uncertainty. Considering these, san francisco easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 22. Charlotte population: 885,663 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 11.3% unemployment rate: 3.3% average annual income per family: $74,401 charlotte is a city known for its laid-back atmosphere, low cost of living, and diverse population. However, its traffic, religion, seclusion, insect repellent, and hurricane management history make it difficult to travel. The city’s mild climate and red clay soil make planting difficult, and mosquitoes are a nuisance. The city’s infrastructure is straining due to population growth, reducing its appeal. Despite its attractions like museums, performing arts, and festivals, charlotte faces challenges for non-finance and tech workers, and early relocation can make bill payments harder. Considering the adjustments a newcomer might experience in charlotte, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 21. Denver population: 699,288 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 11.6% unemployment rate: 3.4% average annual income per family: $88,213 air quality and pollution in denver are at record highs, making it one of the most polluted cities. Denver is among the [30 most polluted cities in the us](https://finance.Yahoo.Com/news/want-live-longer-30-most-141358111.Html). This month, smoke from many intermountain west wildfires has covered the city’s skyline, causing poor air quality. Forest fires in the pacific northwest and southwest canada are causing denver’s increasing smoke. Considering that the biggest concern in denver is pollution, leading to more economic problems, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 20. San diego population: 1,374,076 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 11.7% unemployment rate: 3.9% average annual income per family: $100,010 housing is expensive in san diego, with the typical home price at $765,000 and the average one-bedroom apartment rent at $2,400. Moving to san diego makes it hard to purchase a starter house. The city has one of the biggest homeless populations in the country, demonstrating the wealth gap. Concerns against migrating to san diego include california’s 13.3% state income tax, the highest in the nation. Moreover, san diego is car-centric due to its poor public transportation, which can take an hour to commute. Some residents switch to scooters and motorcycles to avoid parking and expensive fees. Considering the poor condition of living in san diego, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 19. Austin population: 963,121 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 12.7% unemployment rate: 3.8% average annual income per family: $89,415 by the end of the year, the austin metro area is expected to overtake the competitive real estate markets of boston, miami, and new york city to become the least affordable major metro region outside of california for homebuyers. Multiple bids, bidding wars, and block-long queues outside open houses are usual due to the extreme scarcity of available homes. Due to the city’s rapid growth, austin is experiencing a housing crisis that is altering the city and forcing low-income black and latino inhabitants to move further from the city’s cultural centers, transportation hubs, grocery stores, and other urban conveniences. The constant presence of homeless encampments in front of city hall and under busy highways has brought attention to the crisis of inadequate housing. Considering the housing concerns in austin, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 18. Fort worth population: 961,885 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 14.4% unemployment rate: 4.1% average annual income per family: $71,527 the population in the fort worth zip code, which includes the city’s central business district, has the lowest life expectancy in texas, at 66.7 years. This is 12 years less than the national average. The majority of the population is either at or below the poverty line. Income, access to healthy foods, insurance, safe places to exercise, educational opportunities, racial segregation, unemployment, and safe housing are all examples of social determinants of health that have a major impact on an individual’s health and longevity. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the area, along with other common chronic conditions. Community leaders are currently being polled to gauge public opinion on the city’s initiatives to enhance residents’ health and longevity. Considering the poor condition of living in fort worth, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 17. Las vegas population: 653,843 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 14.8% unemployment rate: 6.1% average annual income per family: $68,905 when it comes to the quality of life for the working poor in the united states, the casino capital of las vegas ranks at the bottom. In terms of life expectancy, las vegas is towards the bottom for both men and women. People’s vices come out to play in this gambling center, and the health of the minimum-wage workers around them suffers as a result of secondhand smoke. Residents, especially the impoverished, drink more, exercise less, and deal with the stress of living in a community where the economy has taken a significant hit. Nevada’s social welfare services would suffer severely if the state did not collect taxes. Considering the quality of life and the lack of social support and services that are available in las vegas, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 16. Phoenix population: 1,651,344 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 14.9% unemployment rate: 4.2% average annual income per family: $75,969 when compared to other states still recovering from the covid-19 pandemic, arizona has one of the highest rates of people who are homeless. Home prices in the seller’s market have skyrocketed, making both homeownership and renting out of reach for many californians. Arizona has been recognized for decades as an affordable area to call home, but due to rising housing costs caused by competition, that reputation has changed. It’s getting harder to rationalize living in a city that’s pricey, hot, and congested as the cost of living rises and the older millennial population starts having kids and moving out of phoenix and other arizona cities. Considering these developments, it easily makes arizona one of the dumbest places to live in the usa. 15. Nashville-davidson metropolitan government population: 1,315,000 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 15.3% unemployment rate: 2.9% average annual income per family: $71,767 the nashville-davidson-davidsonitan government poverty rate dropped for the fourth year in 2013, but high-need areas have grown since 2000, according to metro social services. Although the overall poverty rate fell to 15.3%, the child poverty rate remained at 30.5%. One in five children in the state is living in poverty. Nashville-davidson metropolitan government has one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the state and one of the highest rates of school suspensions. Considering these reasons and the challenges that plague the nashville-davidson metropolitan government, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 14. Indianapolis population: 871,449 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 15.4% unemployment rate: 3.6% average annual income per family: $61,501 despite the government’s efforts to improve blighted neighborhoods, the city’s poverty rate has risen by roughly 90% over the past decade. The hispanic and disadvantaged kid populations in indianapolis are growing at a disproportionately high rate. The health crisis, lack of education, unstable housing, unreliable employment, and hunger are among the factors that contribute to the poverty in indianapolis. Due to growing social stratification along racial, ethnic, and other lines, it is increasingly difficult to draw conclusions about a city’s or region’s poor situation from a single set of statistics. Despite this, the government in indianapolis is committed to equitable development or growth that benefits all sectors and communities in the region. Considering the extreme inequality that one may experience in indianapolis, it easily becomes one of the dumbest cities in the usa. 13. Jacksonville population: 962,970 people percentage of people living below the poverty line: 15.4% unemployment rate: 3.2% average annual income per family: $69,309 there are multiple reasons that contribute to making jacksonville one of the dumbest cities in america. It is also one of the worst small cities to live in the usa. The reasons are mainly: traffic congestion, high crime rates, limited job opportunities, hurricane risk, and a lack of cultural attractions. Petty crime, which occurs at an alarming rate in some regions, is another cause for concern. Jacksonville’s diverse economy includes healthcare, banking, logistics, and the military, all of which may or may not offer sufficient employment possibilities. From june through november, jacksonville is in the path of potentially dangerous hurricanes. Moreover, high-quality education is just one of the many issues plaguing jacksonville, along with infrastructural difficulties, poverty, income inequality, and environmental concerns. Jacksonville is home to some stunning natural features, but the city is also struggling with problems like water pollution and conservation. Despite these drawbacks, jacksonville gives residents and visitors alike a well-rounded picture of life in florida. All things considered, many negative reasons outweigh the positive reasons to stay in florida, making the city one of the dumbest cities to live in america. 12. Oklahoma population: 4,048,375 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 15.8% unemployment rate: 2.8% average annual income per family: $63,713 oklahoma has had a substantial poverty problem ever since before it became a state, when early settlers encountered difficulties like drought, food insecurity, and a lack of infrastructure. The main problems that oklahoma faces are the difficulties in meeting basic human needs and the material implications of this trait, which keeps the people poor. Oklahoma’s persistent poverty can be attributed to five features of the state’s social, economic, and political climate: low job rates, low levels of education, high incarceration rates, food insecurity, poor health, wide income gaps, and high rates of violence. Having a job is essential to lifting yourself out of poverty, yet opportunities vary greatly from county to county and race to race. Moreover, there is a close relationship between levels of education and economic success. The public school system in oklahoma has long suffered from inadequate funding and a lackluster investment in its physical facilities. Lastly, oklahoma’s persistent poverty is exacerbated by social inequalities. Taking these reasons in mind, oklahoma easily makes it one of the dumbest cities to live in america. 11. Washington, dc population: 631,693 percentage of people living below the poverty line: 16.5% unemployment rate: 2.4% average annual income per family: $101,027 despite its original intent as a symbol of american principles, the nation’s capital, washington, dc, has become a haven for the callous, insensitive, and dishonorable. The area has been plagued by poverty and violence for decades, and this is not likely to change anytime soon because of the rigidity of the local authority. The main concern for washington currently is the inequality that impacts poor households through the housing market, making rental housing less affordable relative to their incomes. Monitoring the relationship between income and rental costs at different points in the distribution is crucial to ensuring an adequate response to affordability challenges and preserving housing opportunities for a wide range of workers and families. With these in mind, wahington easily makes it to one of the dumbest cities to live in america. 10. Dallas population: 1,259,404 people percentage of people living below the poverty line: 16.5% unemployment rate: 4.1% average annual income per family: $65,400 as income inequality and economic mobility rise, cities like dallas, one of the most segregated in the country, see their land of opportunity shrink. For some, poverty is a trap set at birth from which there is no chance of escape, and the land of opportunity is increasingly restricted to largely white residents of the city’s northern census tracts. The poverty in dallas is intertwined with two crises, and segregation is the greatest obstacle to economic advancement. In sum, the inequitable distribution of resources in dallas greatly affects its rise to development, making it easily one of the dumbest cities to live in the usa. 9. San antonio population: 1,479,493 people. Percentage of people living below the poverty line: 17% unemployment rate: 4.2% average annual income per family: $58,829 due to san antonio’s racial composition and the prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes, the city has been dealing with generational poverty for quite some time. Because of the city’s demographics, notably its high poverty rates for black and latino citizens, black and latino neighborhoods in san antonio have been disproportionately affected by the current covid-19 situation. State-collected data from the epidemic suggests that disparities in survival rates due to race and socioeconomic position exist. A major factor contributing to the poor health of san antonio’s black and latinx groups is the city’s high poverty rate. Moreover, low-income people in san antonio are more likely to be exposed to the coronavirus in the workplace, increasing their already elevated risk. Healthcare, discrimination, pandemic, covid-19, diabetes, inequality, racial discrimination, medicaid, asthma, metro health, community health and prevention, metropolitan health district, poverty, generational poverty, healthcare access, chronic illness, and more are all problems that san antonio, bexar county, texas, must face. With all these factors, it can be said that san antonio is one of the dumbest cities to live in the usa. 8. Chicago population: 2,608,425 people. Percentage of people living below the poverty line: 17.1% unemployment rate: 4.2% average annual income per family: $70,386 according to author rachel shteir, chicago is the most depressing major city in america because it is stiflingly conformist, consistently elects crooks and the stupid, and stubbornly holds onto outdated stereotypes about itself. Long commute times, foreclosures, lower property values compared to the rest of the country, higher rates of uninsured residents, higher rates of high school dropouts, higher rates of unemployment, and a world-famous gun violence epidemic are all realities that the city must face head-on. With almost 550,000 people not having health coverage, the city is the fourth worst in the united states. Moreover, the city’s unemployment rate is almost three percentage points greater than the national average, and its home price index is now nearly 30 points below the national average. The biggest drop has been in public payrolls, which has hit minorities especially hard. South and west side communities have been impacted hardest by government layoffs, contributing to chicago’s already notorious gun violence epidemic. 7. Los angeles population: 3,769,485 people. Percentage of people living below the poverty line: 17.1% unemployment rate: 5% average annual income per family: $76,135 the high cost of living, restrictions on specific groups, and the city’s long history of homelessness all contribute to los angeles’ high poverty rate. Since it was formerly the most segregated city in the south, the city’s property documents reflect that history of segregation. Since housing is expensive and there aren’t enough jobs to go around, the homeless population has increased. Because of the public and private resources available, several formerly homeless people have relocated here from other states. Moreover, the city of los angeles is home to the highest rates of both violent crime and poverty in the united states. Because of the city’s year-round warm climate, those without homes can easily obtain shelter as well as basic necessities like food and needles. However, the rising number of san francisco’s homeless is a major worry as well, with the local government pointing the finger at rising rent prices. The high cost of living and high poverty rate in los angeles draw attention to the need for change and solutions to these problems. As a result of many reasons, including high living costs, historical restrictions, and governmental acceptance of poverty, los angeles has a high poverty rate. Considering these reasons, los angeles easily makes it to the dumbest cities to live in the united states. 6. Columbus population: 907,865 people. Percentage of people living below the poverty line: 17.7% unemployment rate: 3.1% average annual income per family: $61,727 a recent ohio study indicated that urban poverty has increased more than gentrification in columbus and ohio city communities. The survey also indicated that black households are most affected by neighborhood poverty. Columbus is large, yet the number of high-poverty tracts increased from 26 in 1980 to 50 in 2018. Black residents are five times more likely than whites to live in high-poverty communities, according to the report. Transportation policies, local entrepreneurship, and small company development initiatives can aid urban communities. Considering these reasons, columbus easily makes it one of the dumbest cities to live in america. 5. New york population: 19,496,810 people percentage of people living below the poverty line: 18% unemployment rate: 4.6% average annual income per family: $74,694 prior to the epidemic, nearly one in five adults and one in five children in new york city were living in poverty, and nearly half of the city’s population faced some type of disadvantage. The biggest concern for new york city is its unemployment rate. New york city has a high unemployment rate because of the city’s high job application rate and significant homeless population. The 2008 financial crisis triggered the great recession, which drove up the unemployment rate that year. Many of the unemployed, however, came from middle- and upper-class backgrounds and were likely to own at least one property. Considering the persistent problem of unemployment in new york, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america. 4. Boston population: 617,459 people percentage of people living below the poverty line: 18.7% unemployment rate: 2.7% average annual income per family: $86,331 the boston metro region is the seventh most unequal city in the united states when it comes to income inequality. The poverty rate in boston is influenced by various factors, including educational attainment, disabilities, and household characteristics. This wealth gap persists from home to community, drawing attention to the cycle of poverty that persists in certain boston households. Considering these factors and the wealth gap that persists in boston, it easily makes it one of the dumbest cities in america.
