41. Palmdale, California

A commuter city, people living in Palmdale spend an exorbinant amount of time in their cars – the average person has a drive time of 42 minutes just to get to work. For many, that’s a lot of time and money lost going back and forth between locations.

Perhaps because citizens must go so far away from home to find work, nearly 20% of the 156,667 residents are living in poverty. In turn, Palmdale was once labeled “the foreclosure capital of California.”
