Once again, Texas finds itself on the wrong side of a national ranking, with two of its cities, Baytown and Houston, making the top ten list of the dirtiest cities in America for 2024. This ranking, compiled by LawnStarter, took into account factors such as air pollution, water quality, waste management, and resident dissatisfaction.

The Shameful List:

1. San Bernardino, California
2. Detroit, Michigan
3. Reading, Pennsylvania
4. Newark, New Jersey
5. Ontario, California
6. Phoenix, Arizona
7. Trenton, New Jersey
8. Las Vegas, Nevada
9. Houston, Texas
10. Baytown, Texas

Of particular note is Baytown's abysmal air pollution, ranking as the worst out of all 303 cities studied. Houston doesn't fare much better, with high rankings in worst infrastructure (27th) and resident dissatisfaction (50th).

The Rest of the Dirty Dozen: Texas' Other Cities

As if the shame of the top ten wasn't enough, Texas has a total of 21 cities on this disgraceful list:

15. Beaumont
16. Brownsville
17. El Paso
18. Fort Worth
19. Dallas
20. San Antonio
21. Amarillo
22. Corpus Christi

30. Mansfield
31. Frisco
32. Waco
33. Wichita Falls
34. New Braunfels

This ranking is a stark reminder of the work that needs to be done to improve the environmental conditions in these cities and ensure the health and well-being of their residents.
