With a population of just 70,087, Appleton is a sleepy Rust Belt town that hasn't quite shaken its history as a sundown city. The tax burden is heavy, winters are frigid, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache - but at least you won't have to worry about big-city crime. If you're looking for an affordable, laidback Midwest lifestyle, Appleton could be a decent fit, but those seeking excitement or diversity should probably look elsewhere.
