Well, this is definitely not a good list to land on. Two cities in New York State have made the list of the most dirty cities in the United States. House Fresh ranked the dirties cities by the number of 311 calls.

From clean drinking water to sewage disposal, littered streets to missed garbage pick-ups, we analyzed 12.3 million sanitation-related 311 complaints in a series of U.S. cities to reveal which metropolises need to clean up their act.

Though in close company with the cities of Sacramento, Charlotte and Los Angeles, it’s the residents of Baltimore that are the most discontent with their level of dirtiness. With a staggeringly high complaint rate of 47,295 per 100k population, there seems to be a disconnect between the needs of the community and the cleanliness of the city.

Baltimore has a 311 complaint rate about the dirt of 47,295 per 100k population.
