Schenectady Ranked #1 Worst Albany Suburb

The gang at roadsnacks.net are at it again with another controversial list, and this time they bring us the 10 worst Albany suburbs.

The website claims to use science and data to determine which Albany suburbs are the real pits. Now, the website cautions that the site is a matter of opinion, and that one should not freak out over the said results. The site also claims that Albany area consitently ranks among the best places to live across the country, but the site has examined the 21 biggest suburbs in Albany to determine the worst places to live. The data comes from the most recent Census report 2010-2014 survey.  The criteria they used included low median income, low population density, low home values, and a high number of high school dropouts.

4. Green Island

5. Watervliet

6. Rotterdam

7. Cohoes

8. Waterford

9. Scotia
