16. Colorado – Bessemer (Pueblo)
Bessemer in Pueblo reflects some of Colorado’s more persistent urban challenges outside its rapidly growing suburban corridors. The neighborhood has faced issues tied to economic decline, aging infrastructure, and higher crime rates compared to wealthier parts of the state. While Colorado is often associated with prosperity and growth, cities like Pueblo show a different reality with a violent crime rate of 1,253 per 100k residents. Bessemer in particular has struggled with property crime and violent incidents over time, shaped largely by long-term industrial shifts and reduced investment.
