Michigan Has One of the Top 5 Dirtiest Cities in America
Michigan, I’ve always felt, is a very clean state. But, of course, every state has some areas with more pollution and trash.
Now, a new study claims that one Michigan city is inside the top five dirtiest cities in America. The study comes from LawnStarter, which states, “City living has its advantages, but more residents usually means more pollution, more rats, and more trash. The problem is worse in some cities than in others. LawnStarter ranked 2023’s Dirtiest Cities in America following one of the trashiest times of the year, the winter holiday season.”
For the study, they “compared over 150 of the biggest U.S. cities across four categories, including pollution, living conditions, infrastructure, and consumer satisfaction. Depending on where you live, you may want to buy some air fresheners, mouse traps, or a can of Raid.” Gross, right?
So, which Michigan city is among the dirtiest? Detroit is at No. 4 on the list. The city’s overall score was 48.3, pollution rank was No. 9 and living conditions rank was No. 35. The cities with the worst air quality were all in California, by the way. And, at least Detroit wasn’t inside the cities with the highest share of rats or mice. Find the full report here.
