just read that GADSDEN, Alabama ranks as the 5th poorest city in the nation.... More than a fifth of the city’s population lives below the poverty level, with 9.1 percent of its people of working age currently unemployed. The income of an average household dropped $4,500 in a five-year period starting 2007. Gadsden, however, can take something positive from its housing market. The values of homes in the area have increased by nearly 13 percent, which is equivalent to the fifth largest growth rate for metropolitan areas.
