These are America's 33 poorest cities, according to this site.

I see Austin is rich than San Antonio than Houston than Dallas.
 
It just keeps reloading one page.

Thank you for posting them.

El Paso is way up there. We used to live very comfortably there. But we went to Mexico every weekend for for , clothing, medicine, glasses etc.
 
Not surprised about some of them....Milwaukee is hyper-segregated

Ones that surprised me were: Boston, Fort Worth, Austin and San Diego,
