Pahrump is an unincorporated place in southern Nevada along the California state border. Its ranking on this list is due in large part to poor performance in several measures of quality of life. For example, there were 38 drug deaths for every 100,000 people in the area between 2015 and 2017 compared to the national overdose death rate of 20 per 100,000.

The area’s job market is also relatively weak. Nearly one in every 10 workers in Pahrump are unemployed, well above the comparable 5.9% national unemployment rate.
