Sitting in the top spot of cities that you should avoid is Detroit, Michigan.

It is truly sad to see a Michigan city on this list. I was truly confused when I saw it so I had to understand why it landed on the list.

"Detroit, Michigan is the major US city most avoided by American travelers. Nearly 23% of American adults stated they would avoid traveling to Detroit at all costs. This means nearly a quarter of Americans will not travel to Detroit under any circumstances. Based on the recent census, the 22.5% that said this represents more than 58 million people. With those statistics in mind, I have visited Detroit several times myself and have not experienced any issues."
