10 Places in Wisconsin You Should NEVER Move To

Move to these places and you're gonna regret it big time!
Wisconsin. Famous for its cheese, beer and football. And it’s more than just a tailgater’s dream. The Badger State has rolling hills, thousands of beautiful lakes and some big-name universities. If you’re from Wisconsin, you know it’s a great state to call home, but not every city in America’s Dairyland is a winner.
To measure the bad places in this state, we have to use two things - data and opinion. We’ve looked at a bunch of data, you know - crime, poverty, the quality of schools and home prices. Plus, we took into account YOUR opinion - that’s right - you Wisconsinites have a lot to say about which places in your states are great and which are not so great. So, while the ice cream sundae got its start here, there’s not much sweet about the places we’re talking about today.
Let’s get started.

I used to live in Kenosha. I've been in Illinois for the last decade (not really by choice) and went back to town a couple months ago. While I still love Kenosha, I couldn't wait to get out of Milwaukee. There was a homeless person with a sign asking for money at literally the very first exit, and several more homeless just wandering around. It was the middle of the afternoon. Many of the streets felt dirty and narrow. Many of the buildings felt dumpy. I wouldn't want to be in this area at night. I'm glad that you love it but I don't know, even as a relatively local resident I can't say that I'd want to live in Milwaukee. Maybe there are some nice suburbs away from the interstate and downtown area, I don't know.

Ironically, Brown Deer used to be one of the most affluent cities in Wisconsin. And Portage is very close to Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo, where there are a lot of things to do year round. The crime problems in a lot of Wisconsin cities came about with the rise of gangs. I tried to help improve Wisconsin working with churches and at the mission in Milwaukee, etc. The big issue with my family was the high property taxes. I miss my old home! I even have tried to make things better in Janesville and Beloit.

I think these lists are so misleading. I've lived in Wisconsin all my life. I've spent time in every city in this video except Antigo. The only one on the list I agree with is Racine. I would move to any of the rest of them. I was in Beloit last night grocery shopping and I wasn't afraid for my life. Full disclosure, a lot of Wisconsinites do dislike and fear Beloit, but I wonder how many of them have spent much time there. It does have a nice downtown area, good people, some really nice neighborhoods and the best Farmer's Market around. People all over in Wisconsin are generally friendly. It's not the most diverse or sophisticated place to live, but it's charming and laid back and you can't beat the scenery. By and large, we also don't have to worry about hurricanes, earth quakes and wild fires. We don't even seem to get as many tornadoes, floods or ice storms as nearby states. It gets cold and hot here, but not too extreme. By the way, ice fishing may be bigger in WI than other places, but not everyone here ice fishes. I've never been and I never will. I know very few people who have ever been ice fishing. It seems like creators of these kinds of videos rely heavily on statistics, which don't always paint an accurate picture. I think they should take the time to talk to a good cross section of people who live in these places to get an idea of what they're actually like.

Have you been up north? My god the winters are brutal. 6/7 months of cold and snow

[@JaredTVW]

I was born and raised in WI, still living here and I find your passion and love for defending this great state both commendable and a little shortsighted. Nick is poking fun at some of the mannerisms people carry about this state and honestly most of the small towns and most of the list he shared was only bad in one impacting way.If you want to make a video, then make your own. But based on what you said, your top 10 worst places to live in WI would probably consist of one city and 9 from IL. And it’s a joke that we all ice fish. He’s just pointing out how limited there is to do in a state where your four seasons are Summer, Pre-Winter, Actual Winter and Post-Winter. But in my hometown of Reedsburg, kids in high school would wear their hunting camouflage to school, ride tractors to school, get drunk off their parents liquor on the weekends, do drugs in a park one city block away from where I lived, or they ate cheese and went icefishing. Small towns have very little things to do and if parents don’t direct their kids or don’t actively fill their lives with alternatives, these things happen. He can joke we all drink beer and eat cheese and hunt and icefish because that describes a good percentage of people. Hope this didn’t ruffle you up, and I get not wanting to be lumped in with people you don’t feel you belong. But I think you are taking this list a little too personal. But that’s just my opinion.

I live in Michigan. Same trashing goes on here. But I can go to free outdoor concerts every night in summer in the midmichigan tri-city area. The surrounding areas are afraid to step foot in some towns. The haters need a place to hate. Yes, there is crime, including murder. But, by and large, if you avoid some parts of town and stay home late at night, you'll be okay. The amenities cities offer are amazing: art museums, children's museum, libraries, senior center and services, awesome parks and pools, etc. Small towns have less crime, but less diversity, entertainment, parks, and are often a non-gated gated community. Outsiders are regarded with scorn, fear, suspicion and outright hostility. Even when they smile to your face, they are talking about you behind their back. Not everyone, but a lot.

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

I disagree completely. Kenosha is going down the tubes. Sure, there are some things that are better but some of the negatives outweigh the positives. Not being overly dependent on the auto industry is a huge plus, but the political leadership is corrupt, the schools are SHODDY and the school board incompetent. Tony Evers throwing fuel on the fire and the mayor/police of Kenosha allowing the city to burn for days certainly didn't help. Anyone who thinks this place has gotten better isn't paying attention. Crime is worse, the lake area is mismanaged and a general zoo (they have restricted parking down by the harbor and will ticket people minutes after 7 PM when it is still light until 9:30 PM.), the cliquey downtown scene...no thanks. It isn't that special to be treating it so. It is laughable. People drive like maniacs all over town with fatalities every year in places with 30-35 MPH speed limits. That just shouldn't be happening. These things could be dealt with but it is obvious the leaders and police do not care to deal with those problems. The fact they refuse to somehow get a bus route out to walmart and has repeatedly shut down walmart locations in the city says it all. Government = Full of leftist clowns. That closed Pick N Save in the hood is hilarious. That's Kenosha for you. Following in Racine's footsteps. You think Kenosha is good? You live in White Caps area? You know nothing!!!!!

At that time, thanks to the town being at the intersection of two fairly busy state highways, there were three fine dining restaurants - Stimach's, Loefler's, and The Blackjack- which were pretty impressive for a town of that size.

Moved from Waco,Tx to Appleton,WI. Practically every town in Wisconsin has a small town feel, even towns like Appleton. Everything feels just more laid back. Tons of rivers nearby that have very good kayak fishing for smallmouth bass (Wolf, Embarrass,Red Rivers) If your into road biking the countryside has some of the smoothest roads with hardly any traffic. Rib mountain is a nice little ski hill in Wausau. 5 hrs away is Mt. Bohemia in the UP. Appleton has a very good comedy club that every now and then has some bigger names come through. The airport (ATW) is super easy to fly out of. Tons of golf courses everywhere. Shiocton has a great rifle/pistol outdoor range that is just amazing. Oshkosh has EAA event every year if you are into aviation. Door county is not far away at all and is a slice of heaven. Devils lake state park is not too far away and is the best park in the state hands down. Just go there youll see what im talking about. Wisconsin isn't all flat, if you go to the southwest corner the hills get more abrupt/steep and just a joy to cycle through country roads for a workout.

I'm someone who has lived in the Ashland area for a long time, and I don't think it's that bad honestly. It has a lot of public infrastructure like bike trails that are really nice, and the main street is very busy for a small town. There's a lot of very nice small businesses, having the lake next door is great, and it doesn't even get quite as much snow as inland cities. Drugs are definitely a real problem, but some of the crime & murder rates may just be statistical anomalies since the sample size is so small. (There was one serial arsonist a few years ago that probably drove those rates up... thankfully he's been caught now). The schools could be worse, and Elementary is probably even good, though many parents try to transfer their kids to the nearby Washburn school if they can anyhow. Maybe I'm just blindsided by the fact that I come from various towns surrounding Ashland that are even more economically depressed, though, so it always seemed like one bright spot. I would have given its place to Hurley instead. It's a tiny tiny town (1.5k people) that relies on its Michigan neighbor Ironwood for everything, except bars, which they have like 40 of (along with some other businesses you might predict to arise). It might sound like fun for some people, but for families, it's one of the worst places ever to live imo.

We lived in Brown Deer 13 years and finally got out in 2020. It really went down hill. It’s a suburb borders Milwaukee intercity. A main road gave people in Milwaukee quick access to drive up to Brown Deer. When Walmart came crime increased greatly. Also apartments in area had lots of domestic cases. So many families with lots kids moved into apartments. I couldn’t believe how many kids you’d see the buses pick up by the apartments. Neighborhoods with houses were nice. It’s very true that car theft is high. Also lots of burglaries. We were burglarized mid day in 2015. Cops are good and have small parameter to cover but just too much crime coming in. Businesses struggle to stay and schools could be better. Teachers and staff were good but kids just weren’t achieving as high. One correction I give is Brown Deer is not on Lake Michigan though it’s not far. It’s 5 miles from the lake. In my daughter yearbooks I counted how many kids in my daughters kindergarten grade were still in her grade in 5th grade. Only 1/5 of kids were still in the school system. That’s how many left (then new came in). So that’s a high turnover of families. School fights are common in older grades and lots of kids show disrespect toward the teachers.

Brwon deer is 7-8 miles from Milwaukees inner city. I grew up near Brown Deer. It was a great place to live during the 70s and 80s......then it steadily went downhill from there....

[@knado8135]

Because it is a blue state and the state officials don't prosecute because they are too progressive. It is almost to the point that California is. They keep letting criminals go, taxing the taxpayers more and more, and now they are backed in a corner with nowhere to. Then they cry when they actually are robbed. Haha.

You can’t really make comments about cities without understanding how devastating it was shipping manufacturing jobs overseas, and how redlining in urban areas created racial segregation. In the early 1900’s, Milwaukee was the leading manufacturing city. After WW2, when the production of machinery stopped and most of the remaining production work was shipped overseas, jobs declined but residents from the south still continued to move north doubling the black population in the 1970’s. As the Information Age took over, many jobs required a college education. Wisconsin, like many states in the US, have never recovered from the boom times of the 1950’s but instead is suffering from trickle up economics where profits have increasingly moved to the 1% while money isn’t reinvested in production, schools, or communities.

In 2015, I've been assaulted by two black teens on the corner of Northeast Milwaukee, Glendale and Whitefish Bay. They tried to rob me. Thankfully, the residents saw it and came out to help. The Glendale police were quick and they apprehended the guys. When they got to court, one of them the mastermind (the real criminal) was acquitted but the other guy (apprentice) was sentenced to prison for a month. My home was broken in and lots of bad trash from Chicago got dumped on us. Milwaukee police did a great job cleaning the area but it was too much. I'm not a white guy. I'm a "brown". Anyway, I left the city and I will never go back there. The place has been going down very badly. There are good people there but darkness has just invaded the place. It's just sad. Sometimes, the best thing to do is pack your bags and leave for your own good.

[@knado8135]

Right on point with how it still is. I only come once a year to be a vendor at the state fair. It is the absolute worst fair we do. The worst of the worst come to the fair. Everybody is so snobby and everybody bitches about everything. Good thing it is once a year. I would go homeless instead if living in that disgusting hell hole of liberalism.

The problem with this list is it ignores good parts of the cities mentioned and also ignores the fact that places like Racine and Milwaukee are not only cities but counties. The counties are way larger than the cities themselves and have a lot to offer. No one would say Wind Point in Racine county is trashy. I say I am from Racine despite not actually being from the city of Racine, and I just always assumed people knew that the county doesn’t equal the city

Growing up and living the majority of my life in Wisconsin I'd honestly say New London and Ashland are not bad at all, you can live a pretty decent life in both places. The other places listed are so-so. I would say the 3 Worse places in the state for sure would be: 1. Racine 2. Beloit 3. The NW side of Milwaukee (which is Extremely ghetto & Dangerous). A large majority of Milwaukee and most of its close outlaying areas are very nice and affordable and can live a really good life here. Stay outta the NW side of MKE and west side of the Marquette U campus- you'll be just fine. Any other majority city I go to though, I hear the same thing about how its 1 of the most segregated cities with dangerous pockets. What major city doesn't have that? Unfortunately its an American phenomenon.

[@scottswing3627]

Beloit has gotten a lot better these past ten years

[@danpetreikis]

I actually quite like Ashland. Drove through there a few times, on my way up to Madeline Island from my father's old house in Lake Tomahawk. I think Ashland has a nice, old shipping town kind of feel, and the views of Lake Superior are outstanding, though I'm sure winters there are pretty rough.

[@501764727]

Precisely! Ashland is pretty nice actually and I’d say 4 outta the 10 towns on this list could be excluded. But Racine, Beloit and NW side and part of the south side of MKE are def dumps!
