10 Places in OHIO You Should NEVER Move To

10 Places in OHIO You Should NEVER Move To

Move to any of these Ohio cities and you’re gonna regret it big time!

If you’ve spent any time in Ohio as a visitor, you may have been impressed. By what I’m not sure. And from what I hear, many Ohio residents have some amount of state pride. I mean they could live in West Virginia, so it’s not the worst place in the country.

And believe it or not, there are people who are thinking about moving to Ohio, so we’re gonna talk about the places you DON’T want to live in this state if you do that. Ohio people know them by heart and can rattle them off pretty quickly. Most of these won’t be a huge shock for Ohioans. All we’re gonna do is rank them in order.

For our worst places in Ohio ranking, we’re going to be fair about things and use statistics. Things like crime rates and poverty and other measuring sticks such as quality of schools and home prices. In the end, we’ll know the undisputed loser as the worst place to live in the Buckeye State. And much of it has to do with the drugs and the decline of auto jobs. Let’s begin, shall we?

    Western Reserve is beautiful

    I have lived in Florida, Texas, Alaska, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. I can tell you that BY FAR the best of these states is Ohio and folks it is not even close!!! Sure, there are places in every state where it is not a great place to live, but as a state, Ohio rocks.



  3. Steve Kennedy on May 17, 2022 at 7:55 pm

    Mansfield isn’t that bad.



  4. Jennifer Hanson on May 17, 2022 at 7:55 pm

    This dude gives me a low key Norm Mcdonald Vibe and that’s awesome



  5. Samson Hannigan on May 17, 2022 at 7:56 pm

  6. country Channel on May 17, 2022 at 7:56 pm

    You know what sucks worse than Ohio you



  10. Jesse Armstrong on May 17, 2022 at 8:04 pm

  11. trajaun blair on May 17, 2022 at 8:04 pm

    Dude there’s no way the average income in Ashtabula is 17,000 I make 90,000 on average.



  12. Joseph Murphy on May 17, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    This video is lame…



  13. LaMar Ball on May 17, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    I’m from Elyria currently living in Tacoma, WA. We made honorable mention. One gross detail he left out is the Private Prison factor. It’s #1 in America. They capitalize greatly off the crime, drugs, and poverty. Glad I left that hell hole!!!!



  14. Amanda Pertuset on May 17, 2022 at 8:07 pm

    Ohio is also home of two of America’s Top 50 places to live, West Chester and Mason. I’m here for all of your Greater Cincinnati Ohio real estate needs! @amandasellscincy



  15. •RaeBae•🕯 on May 17, 2022 at 8:07 pm

    I used to live in Middletown and trust me it’s HORRIBLE 😭



  16. Kissy on May 17, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Dude!? Were tf do you get your information? The east side of Dayton is definitely way better then the west.. Also There are loads and loads of jobs here in Dayton lots of manufactures along with packing warehouses etc. etc… The Westside of Dayton used to be pretty bad maybe around the late 80s and 90s but even it’s calmed way down.. And as far as the fentanyl abuse and heroin abuse goes that’s everywhere that’s even in some of the upper class communities as well! Do you wanna know some dangerous cities? why don’t you take a trip out to California! Look up slab city USA and watch some of those videos you’d be thinking Ohio is a walk in a nice park.



  17. Lillian Long on May 17, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Ah yes, dayton, aka tweaker city, the place i wake up every morning hoping this place was just a dream… Sorry, nightmare



  18. Eli Tv on May 17, 2022 at 8:10 pm

  21. Joshua Miller on May 17, 2022 at 8:13 pm

    I love videos that point out issues and problems and provide no solutions. Thanks! I’m from Cleveland, still here in ohio. You suck.



  22. George on May 17, 2022 at 8:14 pm

  23. ~_Zaharin_~ on May 17, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    I lived in Ohio for most of my life and never knew of these places, Besides East Cleveland.



  24. Edward Boggs on May 17, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    For starters, BOTH Wright brothers lived in Dayton , – get your history "Wright".



  25. Nick Johnson on May 17, 2022 at 8:23 pm


  26. P_Rod on May 17, 2022 at 8:23 pm

  27. Wage Slave on May 17, 2022 at 8:25 pm

  28. Mike Morton on May 17, 2022 at 8:26 pm

  29. Rashaun cassells on May 17, 2022 at 8:27 pm

    More & more places here are becoming 3rd world areas all the time.



  30. NuDay Corp on May 17, 2022 at 8:27 pm

    This is hilarious🤣🤣 it’s funny because it’s true… I am a native Ohioan (Dayton) and still live in Ohio…but what is being said is only true and we know it… I’m sure Dayton is the #1 place on this list (I haven’t finished watching it yet but it is FUNNY so far…🤣🤣🤣🤣



  31. Cyguy on May 17, 2022 at 8:28 pm

    Must not have gone to Bellaire, OH … so sad what has happened to that town …



  32. Darlene Crone on May 17, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    I live in Dover Ohio , a wonderful small town. I agree there’s a lot of bad areas in Ohio. Just like any state, you need to pick a good area.



  33. Jim Snyder on May 17, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    Mr. Johnson certainly doesn’t have much to be grateful about. Does he? What a guy with a "chip on his shoulder". I feel sorry for him.- Proud Clevelander.



  34. Vickie Warren on May 17, 2022 at 8:30 pm

  35. Corey Dial on May 17, 2022 at 8:30 pm

  38. Joseph Nichols on May 17, 2022 at 8:32 pm

    I’m just surprised canton didn’t make the list



  39. bigstepper223 on May 17, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    i live in toledo and although its getting worse crime wise, everybody that stays here loves their city and takes a lot of pride in it.



  40. Tiffany Meyer on May 17, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    I personally live in Mansfield and yes we may have some abandoned buildings but there is a lot of history here. It’s not as bad as this guy makes it sound. We have some beautiful neighborhoods and the country land is gorgeous. No prostitutes standing on the corner and yes the drugs here are bad but it’s bad anywhere you go these days. This is sad and what keeps our cities from flourishing because it’s keeping people away that could potentially make it better.



  41. KeatonMask on May 17, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Ohio isn’t as bad as this video makes it seem. Columbus is awesome!



  42. country Channel on May 17, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    I live in Ohio and it ain’t too bad because if somebody tries to break in they’re going to get a 410 slug through their head.



  43. jeffrey nemitz on May 17, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    as I have lived in Ohio since 1981… there is no good place to live in OHIO. from Cleveland to Akron and onward all are seedly little, dirty, not safe to venture forth outside after dusk, trash-filled streets, graffiti-filled homes, walls, mailboxes, cars, trains, etc…. this Republican-run state is an armpit and smells just as bad. with jobs leaving by the boatload, with homes priced way out of reach of the average person’s income. in all this time I have spent in this state I have yet to find a "nice" place to live. people dropping dead from opioids, and meth addicts lining the streets stealing anything not welded down for their next high.



  44. Media Evolution EVOLVED on May 17, 2022 at 8:40 pm

    Where’s Warren , OH?



  45. Beau Hatman on May 17, 2022 at 8:41 pm
