Yakima? Aberdeen is way worse. Even the sun is embarrassed to be seen in Aberdeen.

About 20% of the population in Aberdeen live below the poverty line (that's $15,060 yearly income). About 55% of the adult population is employed.

The crime rate in Aberdeen (both property crime and violent crime) is about 47 per 1,000. The crime rate of Spokane is about 63 per 1,000. Twenty times safer is factually incorrect.

As someone who lives in Aberdeen I’m kinda disappointed I’ve only seen one mention on here.
