Most people when they talk about Wisconsin, brag about the state. Of course, anywhere is better than Illinois, right? Well, every state has it's favorite towns, but some towns don't seem to measure up.

For a lot of Illinoisians, we try to "escape to Wisconsin", especially on the weekends. For those in Packer country, some towns are better than others.

The Website Roadsnacks recently did a study of our "chedder-loving" friends to the north and determined the Worst places to live in Wisconsin.

The website analyzed 165 of the state’s most populous cities, and came up with the list.

The criteria:

Population Density

Highest Unemployment Rates

Income for residents

High Housing Vacancy Rate

Education levels

Crime rates

Here is the list of the 25 Worst Places to Live in Wisconsin

Merrill Rhinelander Beloit Ashland Marinette Wisconsin Rapids Waupaca Rice Lake Antigo Racine Stevens Point Green Bay Milwaukee Baraboo Wausau Chippewa Falls Prairie Du Chien Berlin New London Portage Fond Du lac Tomah Shawano Marshfield Manitowoc

Do you agree with these rankings? What towns should be added or removed from the list?
