10 Places in Illinois You Should NEVER Move To
10 Places in Illinois You Should NEVER Move To
Move to these places and you’re gonna regret it big time!
If you haven’t heard the news, Illinois is kind of a sinking ship. A lot of people are leaving this state. In fact, more people left Illinois than any other state in the last decade. Last year alone, 51,029 people left the land of Lincoln, meaning .4% of folks skipped town. Many moved to nearby Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri and even into the southern states.
Every ten minutes someone leaves this state for good. By the end of this video, we’ll see another Illinois goodbye.
Why? For many reasons I’ll talk about, but generally, people are tired of the taxes and the government mismanagement. But it’s also the cold and the gloom and the lack of jobs and the crime. Right now, Illinois is the 6th most populous state, but soon, Ohio will pass Illinois for number of people.
Now the places we’re going to talk about all fit into the ‘sucky’ category when it comes to quality of life. These upcoming cities are all perfect examples of struggling communities in this state, and a big reason why Illinois people are Illinoyed. Here are the worst places in Illinois that you could possibly live.
It’s places like Chicago, Kankakee, Rockford and Peoria.

The best video on this topic!
This is what happens,when you have Democrats that don’t give a shit,running the show. I was born and raised in Rockford and still have two brothers that live there. It’s sad to see what’s happening.
Hi. May I know if Carbondale is safe for international students?
I personally think you’re a privileged boy knows nothing about Chicago
I hope you think you’re better anyone better yet from the way you narrate your stories I can tell you have that mentality you ain’t better than nobody bro and I’m sure you ain’t helping nobody knows communities but you’re throwing dirt on it. Typical the people always do that after they designed these places for people to be stuck in.
Can we just say blacks are the problem?
My mom got killed in decater so I agree
My family live there but I sure don’t and still
With every new slot machine, Rock Falls gets closer to making this list…
Left in 1996 and never went back.
I moved to Blue Island from Boston 2017. Im just waiting for a death in my family for an excuse to move back home.

Lots of my friends are dipping but I say screw that I am staying. Born and raised. We got no hurricanes no tornadoes where I am no major flooding. I am 45 min from downtown or 20 min during the night and in just an hour I can be in Wisconsin! Also West IL is really cool, kind of like Wisconsin lite
The common theme is that jobs moved out.
U mmmm I live Dari 😐
No it’s because options are slim just like money, legit opportunities it’s constructed that way these white people don’t just let anybody move into the community so we ended up having to stay in one spot until we make the path easier for us to leave just speaking hypothetically or do you know I’m not from Kankakee but I understand why people that look like me still live in these places and reside in these places is not because of family. It’s because it’s designed that way up until you get a good opportunity to move out but is it it’s a Home how many people because of that
Is Cook County a good place to live?
I’ve lived in Illinois my whole life and it’s not the best place to live but I love all the small communities
My Mom’s best friend lived in Kankakee. I remember my Mom always getting letters from her.
Both my Mom and her friend are passed now.
IL is broken and there is no end in sight, a solid blue state. Over my life I’ve watched this state go from great, when dozens and dozens of Fortune 500 companies were headquartered here and jobs were plentiful, to a place where I feel I’d better get out or I’ll be the last taxpayer standing. Many of my friends and family have left for anywhere but here.
Separately, it’s hard to image a top 10 worst that doesn’t include Joliet or Waukegan, but there’s a lot of tough competition in this race for the bottom.
How about the "chicago War Zone" All Run by Democrats ! if your white? your a minority
I grew up in Chicago in the suburbs mostly northwest still living in Franklin Park IL 👍👍👍👌👌
I’m born and raised in Chicago. Grew up in the Southside, then moved to the southwest and now he Northside. It’s one of the best cities you can live in. I’ve been all over, Paris, London, New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Berlin, Mexico City and so many more and this truly is the best, most diverse place to live. If course Chicago has more power in Illinois!! Everyone lives here. Power to the people not corn.
@0:45 And the blacks
EST.L Is st.l Not Illinois
in live in il
Indiana.. yuck 😂
Oh wait! Give me 10 min! Ha
How about DOLTON ? Capital Of crime- Lazy- bad schools- Gangs- Corrupt City Fathers- If you can find the Father
Democrates n judiciary system killed the country
Better option is to ignore that Hellinois exists.
I am sad, born in 2004 my childhood was good, not great but it was my childhood. Now.everything in my childhood is gone, only 19 and I learn that family is everything, specially in illinois.
I didn’t watch the full video but did I see palatine on here? 😂
Illinois is dead. Expect it to get worse.
I live in Chicago suburbs .. it is okay for now… But wheneve i go outside the Chicago suburban bubble i only see decay and poverty

Funny you picked all the large cities where crime is actually documented. Instead of asking the people of small towns where they pay for their perceived innocence and push their crimes onto people who didn’t commit them. Of course all those places suck. There’s more people, it’s expected. But the small towns are where all real serious crimes are committed. If I wanted to get away from the public eye to do some serious crime, I wouldn’t be someplace it was expected.
This guy is such a tool.
This is will be all of America
Forgot one Carbondale
I moved away from Illinois its the best thing I ever did. People move away can’t sell there house so they abandon it. Old people die children don’t want the house so its abandon too. Houses fall down the city cleans up the mess now its an empty lot. The town I lived in was 12,000. people now its 6200. people. Factories all closed. Lots of retired people live there now.
What about the capital of Illinois
My parents left Peoria / Lacon in 82 and I’ve missed it ever since. My absolute best memories ever are from the middle of nowhere.
I love how unafraid you are to possibly offend someone its amazing and i appreciate it 😂
Oh god, they have POOR people? Terrifying! Clearly it’s all the poor people’s fault, no matter what the problem is. Maybe if we stop offering link, they’ll suddenly get paid a living wage…
This guy is completely tone deaf with his use of the word ghetto over and over and over again🥱
Guess what: Born and lived here my whole life but guess what? You are 100% correct! (I am going to retire in Arizona, lol.)
A heads up: I recently relocated for the last 6 months to Bloomington, you REALLY do not want to move here! Yea, real estate is cheap here people but yea, for a reason!
I like it here. If you go looking for trouble you’ll find it but for the rest of us it’s home.
