Worst Cities to live

New Yorkers may curse the city's traffic jams or the sweltering heat, but the Big Apple isn't one of the worst places to live, according to WalletPop's new list.

Newark, Miami and Los Angeles made the outlet's Top 10 Worst Places to Live, which used criteria such as unemployment rates, health and climate data, crime stats and the number of foreclosures.

Newark, the closest city to make the dubious list, qualified for a few reasons: More than a quarter of its residents reportedly live below the poverty line and the city also is trying to close a $70 million deficit, according to the site.

WalletPop chose Miami for its reported 40,000 foreclosures and for having one of the highest crime rates in the country.

Los Angeles landed on the list for topping another worst list: the American Lung Association's list of cities with the worst ozone pollution.

Other "worst" cities include El Centro, Calif,, where one in four residents is out of work, and Cleveland, which gets brutally cold and snowy winters, according to the site.

Rounding out the rest of the list were Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Detroit and Memphis.
