The Top Ten
1 Detroit, Michigan, USA Detroit is the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan. Located across from Windsor, Ontario, Canada on the Detroit River, Detroit had an estimated population of 672,662 in 2018.

I went to Detroit 7 times I don't want to go again since I heard there was high crime rates and bankruptcy. This is a bad city, don't live or even visit here.

I live in Pittsburgh, I went to Detroit for one weekend... My car window got smashed and they took all the money out of it.

I lived and grew up and was born in Detroit use to be nice,but a very bad place too live and raise a family a terrible place.

Of course is not a good city to live in... Who wants to be Eminem's neighbor?

2 Pyongyang, North Korea

By far the worst city to live in... Period! Well really, one should aim to not live in the country at all...

4 Johannesburg, South Africa
5 Washington, D.C., USA
6 Vatican City

A city without women and only with catholic men in the government and all highest positions, how do you call that?
Vatican City is definitively not a democracy.

I can't believe they don't have religious rights it's wrong to criticise ones religion

Not funny. I'm a Catholic and I'm proud of it. Remove this offensive item off this list.

Ha ha ha this is funny from some reason

7 Moscow, Russia

I used to live there for many years. Yes, Moscow is beautiful someplaces, yet it is way too overcrowded, stressful, hasty, and you can encounter a lot of boorishness from people there. Glad I'm not there anymore.

This should be number one my friends... too crowded city, full of bad people who want to rob you. Ugh

The BEST city ever! Full of energy and love. Very safe and beautiful!

8 Cairo, Egypt

It's a living hell.

Canada shouldn't be in the "worst" list of anything! Seriously! Some of the loveliest, friendliest, kindest people come from Canada and I'm pretty sure that's what makes Canada such a great country.

I've been to Los Angeles, Berlin, New York, Prague, and other great cities around the world. Lemme tell ya, I'll take Toronto over any of them. It's safer, cleaner, and friendlier.

Ok, I live really close to Toronto and there is honestly nothing terrible about this city. To put it in a "worst cities" list is wrong. Believe me, I know.

I live here and there is nothing wrong in here.

18 Palermo, Italy
19 Memphis, Tennessee
20 Dammam, Saudi Arabia

Damman, yet so beutifull, is not a great city to live in. With not a lot of human rights, and very strict rules for woman, this may be quite stressful. Other bad factors include the heat, it can get above 50c in summer, and at minimum, 18c in winter! Their are often car crashes in this area and they are lethal, they often go skidding into the aquatic Saudi Sea..

21 Mogadishu, Somalia

Imagine a city, filled with extremist bombers and rampant poverty. The threat of pirates off the coast and Al-Shabaab in the city centre looms. Welcome to Mogadishu.

22 Damascus, Syria Damascus is the capital of the Syrian Arab Republic; it is also the country's largest city, following the decline in population of Aleppo due to the battle for the city.
