Worst Places To Live In Idaho

Idaho to me is the best state in America.  Lots of positives and a place I'm proud to call home.  With that said, some don't think too highly of certain cities in our beloved Gem state.  Here's their breakdown of the 10 worst cities and how and why they were ranked.

10.    Rathdum

9.     Sandpoint

8.     Pocatello

7.     Weiser

6.     Emmett

5.     Nampa

4.     Mountain Home

3.     Payette

2.     Caldwell

1.     Middleton

I'm a bit offended by this list.  Totally disagree.  This all comes from RoadSnacks.com.  Here's how they calculated and crunched the statistics and numbers.

• Population Density (Lower being worse)
• Higher Unemployment Rates
• Adjusted Median Income (Median income adjusted for the cost of living)
• High Housing Vacancy Rate
• Education (Worse expenditures per student and worse Student Teacher Ratio)
• Long Commute Times
• High Crime
• The Worst Weather
