The criteria used includes unemployment, violent crime, poverty rates, net migration, property tax rates, commute times, climate, foreclosures, deflated home prices, etc.

A lot of Michign and Northern Ohio on that list.

My wife is from the Youngstown area originally and has been begging me to move their for years. I always ask her what job does she expect me to have that pays comprable to what I make now when we move there?

Yeah, be careful Clifton. Although, I'm sure like in any city Youngstown has some nice areas and positive aspects to go along with the bad ones. In all the years living prior in Ohio I never visited Youngstown.
