Chattanooga, Tennessee

Tennessee has long been a popular state for retirees, but if your grandparents are planning on moving to Chattanooga, you might want to tell them to avoid the busier metropolitan area. That's because this city is teeming with gang activity, and as a result, the crime rate is extremely high. In fact, it was once considered the 23rd most dangerous city in the whole of the United States of America.

Census data suggests that around 1,065 crimes occur in Chattanooga per 100,000 residents, which is something you might not want your elderly residents to deal with during their slower years.
