Robeson County is pretty fucking garbage.
And there is absolutely nothing special about my county (Columbus)...but there isn't anything horrible in it...like Lumberton, Fayetteville, or Jacksonville. So it can't be the worst.

rocky mount was recently included on the Forbes 10 most impoverished cities list. yay! we are half in nash and half in edgecombe, but the edgecombe side is the bad one. http://www.forbes.com/2009/10/12/most-impoverished-cities-business-beltway-poverty-cities_slide_10.html
Quote : | "Rocky Mount, N.C., Metro Area
Population: 143,364 Per capita income: $22,662 Income of bottom one-fifth: $7,840 People earning below 50% of poverty line: 7.8% Food stamp recipients: 17% Public health care recipients under age 65: 28,048 2008 unemployment: 8.7%
The bottom fifth in Rocky Mount earn less than in other southern cities on this list Macon or Albany. Unemployment for 2008, even before the worst of the recession, was already elevated. It has since risen further to 13.8%." |
the population they list there is including the "metro area", not just rocky mount. we're only 56,000 people in the city itself.10/27/2009 1:48:40 PM |

Oh. Well, Johnston County is the same way - it's 919, but you have to dial the area code. And THEN there's some 336s you can dial from here and you don't have to dial 1 first.
So weird. 10/27/2009 1:52:59 PM |

What an interesting thread....
I have driven through bertie county several times on the way to camden county (e-shitty) and the only business that has cars in the parking lot is the ABC store.
I hear the hunting is good there though....right pwrstroke?
Also, driving to emerald isle, I see how wrecked Jones County is....I think that's pretty poor too. But that's only speculation. I don't have any numbers to back that up - so therefore, that's strict opinion. 10/27/2009 2:06:58 PM |

Warren County
Also has some of the highest property tax rates on the east coast
and last year they DOUBLED and TRIPLED for many people
every official runs as a democrat unopposed pretty much every election
im hoping they find a way to give some of it back to VA to be honest. Lake gaston is theirs after all
