While there are so many variables that go into saying some place is the “worst,” the folks who compiled this list based it on a few things that most every town or city has to deal with.

Of course the Lone Star State is a popular place to call home. We’ve got the numbers to back up our well placed sense of pride. It’s the second-largest state in the U.S. by area, spanning over 261,797 square miles and by population too — just over 28.7 million people call Texas home.

And while there is an abundance of great and safe communities in here, with all these millions of people you know we’re going to have our share of bad eggs.

What constitutes a bad egg?

Well, in this case things including crime rate, or vicinity to crime; some towns may be close to worse neighborhoods or adjacent cities. Also, they took into account the rate of natural disasters. For instance hurricanes are not something that’d land on the “pro” side of most of our pro/con lists. Flooding, too, would likely fall on the con side.
