- High unemployment (Less jobs)
- Low median income (Less pay)
- Low population density (No things to do)
- Low home values (No one’s willing to pay to live here)
Next, we evaluated and ranked each neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia based on these criteria, from the least favorable to the most favorable. Afterwards, we calculated the average ranking for each criterion and referred to it as the “Worst Score.”
