Pawcatuck is a neat little village-town in the overly-price County of New London in Connecticut, with a small population of 5,249. Living in Pawcatuck offers residents a sparse suburban feel, and most residents own their homes.
Many families live in Pawcatuck, and residents tend to lean liberal. The public schools in Pawcatuck are highly rated, but beyond that, there’s not much room for expansion. Connecticut itself is also quite expensive…
Altoona, Pennsylvania
The decrease in Altoona's people can be due in nearly equal parts to natural population decline – fewer births and more deaths – as well as net outbound migration. With Altoona being a lovely city set in Blair County, Pennsylvania, it's currently home to nearly 5,000 fewer people than ten years ago.
Over the last decade, Pennsylvania's population grew by 0.8%. Many of the fastest shrinking cities in the country tend to have lower incomes. In Altoona, the typical household earns $45,664 a year, well below the median annual household income of $56,951 across Pennsylvania.
Willowbrook, California
The general atmosphere in Willowbrook is very tense. The crime in this area is not a myth. Critical issues also include socio-economic difficulties, cultural division, limited health care, and gang violence. Organizations have long focused on the community, but their plans have not always gained enough traction.
Most would perceive Willowbrook and the adjacent communities of Watts and Compton as ground zero for poverty, gang violence, and low educational attainment. However, like many communities, Willowbrook is comprised of complex identities.
North Star, Delaware
Delaware is known for its lack of diversity, but it does make up for that by being incredibly average, and North Star is no exception. Transportation in this city will be an issue for you if you don't have your own car.
It could be a great place to live if you want to embrace the cookie-cutter way of life. The city saw a 7% decline in its population in the last seven years, which is quite significant for an average suburban town.
Zephyrhills, Florida
Zephyrhills lacks good quality restaurants, has too many unkept trailer parks, with unlit roads and a much older snowbird population outnumbers young families, oh and there's a lack of sidewalks. With 19% of residents leaving Zephyrhills, with a total population of 4,734, that's quite a dent!
It's not difficult to see why so many have left; it's very slow-paced, mostly due to the elderly population and the fact that there's not much to do around. People are nice for the most part; however, driving must be horrible here.
