Yuma, AZ, United States

Capital City

With a population of 95,548, Yuma boasts the dubious distinction of having the highest unemployment rate in the United States at 20.9%. Despite its reputation as the "Sunniest City on Earth", the extreme desert climate is a constant challenge, with temperatures soaring over 100°F for over 100 days per year. And while bureaucracy may be a persistent headache - the city is run by a mayor, six-member council, and city administrator - Yuma's agricultural powerhouse status and military presence make it an appealing option for those seeking a warm, sunny respite from the winter. Just don't expect it to be an easy place to call home.
