“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,” Housefresh.com reported on the Dirtiest Cities in America.
Housefresh.com analyzed 12.3 million sanitation-related 311 complaints placed over the last 365 days to reveal the dirtiest cities in America, then ranked locations based on the number of sanitation-related reports per 100,000 population.
“According to our research, it’s the East coast city of Baltimore that needs to concentrate on its cleanliness the most.” Baltimore came in 1st with 47,295 per 100k population, and a staggering 89,391 complaints per 100k population in the 21213 zip code.
And in second place is the Capitol city of California, Sacramento, with 39,186 complaints per 100k population; the Sacramento zip code of 95818 had 48,864 complaints per 100k population (my zip code).
Even Los Angeles, in 4th place, didn’t fare as poorly as Sacramento, with 21,616 complaints per 100k population for filth.
Oakland came in 15th place, with 6,139 complaints per 100k population.
San Francisco came in 19th place with 2,411 complaints per 100k population.
Again, the report covered clean drinking water, sewage disposal, littered streets and missed garbage pick-ups, and 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.
Sacramento’s 95817 zip code had 48,468 complaints per 100k population.
Sacramento’s 95822 zip code had 45,143 complaints per 100k population.
Sacramento, once a sleepy middle class “cowtown,” has turned in to a big filthy dirty city, with homeless vagrants living on the streets – residential streets, under freeway off-ramps, in public parks, along the two rivers, – wherever they are allowed to squat by Mayor Darrell Steinberg, the Sacramento City Council and Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, Gov. Newsom and state lawmakers. This rests squarely on politicians who want the federal and state homeless funding, but don’t spend it to help get the drug addicted and mentally ill vagrants off the streets. Instead the billions spent have been funneled into dubious non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations, often paying out big salaries. This model is not at all prioritizing eradicating the homeless plague but in growing it so the funding spigot remains on.
The Dirtiest and Cleanest Zip Codes in Los Angeles
Los Angeles ranked as the fourth dirtiest city according to the Housefresh analysis.
“Ramping up a surprisingly high complaint rate is the affluent neighborhood of Mission Hills, an area boasting many local businesses and where most people own their homes.”
Inglewood came in much cleaner, issuing just 72 complaints per 100k population. The city of Milwaukee is the cleanest in the U.S., with only 309 reports – the smallest number of complaints per 100k population.

Here is another dirty Sacramento photo – look closely.
Sacramento is even paying for security at the homeless trailer camp at Miller Park. How nice.

Well done California. Had Larry Elder been elected Governor this and other like issues would be a abating.
Agreed, Elder would have been great!
This very telling ranking of Sacramento's continual downward condition of blight (and danger) is quite an indictment ----- another one ----- of its unrepentant "leadership" Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Sacramento City Council, Sac County Board of Supervisors, Sociopath Gov Gav Gruesome, and our shameless state legislature. (All Dem/Marxists or Dem/Marxist majorities, of course.) Good job, "leaders" ---- MORE shame and scandal and stigma to add to the already stinking, fetid, revolting pile that was already there, and nothing done, ever. No consequences, either. Not one. Just more and more and more money spent, more useless Friends of Darrell rewarded with cash and incentives, more unwalkable streets, more unhelped junkies and crazies, more filth, more crime, more open-air drug use and lewd behavior, more drug-fueled assaults, more hopelessness, more attack dogs running loose, and more taxpaying residents afraid to step outside.
It's absolutely horrifying to watch this destruction happen to such a nice city as Sacramento.
what I find most difficult to believe about all this is that nowhere in the article was Trump blamed for this ...... I'm sure it's coming. sooner or later.
the Miller Park pics reflect a Safe Camping zone set up by the City. posting theses images as reflective of Sacramento is a false flag used by Grimes to push her "dirty Sacramento", anti -Democrat agenda.
I would hardly categorize Ms. Grimes' reporting as a "false flag." The SafeGround camping sites at Miller Park and other locations around the city, have only attracted more tent encampments along their peripheries instead of just confining the homeless to the city-sanctioned sites. If you travel to Miller Park or X Street and Alhambra Blvd., there are unauthorized tent encampments strewn about at the entrance to these sites. I'm glad to see our County D.A. holding City leaders accountable for their dereliction of duty in regards to this matter.
GariRae Gray - The photos are of illegal camps set up near the Safe Camping trailers. It's not a false flag but more evidence that even the areas the city deems "safe camping" is not at all.
Had my 40 foot live in trailer stolen in broad daylight was posted on Facebook marketplace for sale in a week showed to all police agencies any help no!!!!!!!!!!!! And the seller is still selling more people stuff no justice what should I do it’s getting me to that place we’re I shouldn’t be understand shits going to blowup. Need help
Sacramento was better when it was a town.
I have seen the collapse of our quality of life when the politicians saw $ signs and put in the arena. Everything has become monetized in Midtown, no more unique stores or mom and pop businesses.
And yes, by the time agencies and city leaders grift from the homeless funds, the population and problems of the unhoused balloons.
wow! I completely agree with you! The arena initiated our decline in quality of life . Now all we have are luxury apts and blocks and blocks of restaurants. Sac has become like a corporation catering to SF transplants while it kills it's roots and displaces it's native and long-term residents.
A decline in quality of life and overwhelming homelessness are the consequence of Sac's current direction.
Sacramento became a city in 1850. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento,_California
As Katy Grimes mentioned, Sacramento was once a pleasant and somewhat sleepy“cowtown.” It has since turned in to a big filthy dirty city, with homeless vagrants living on the streets thanks to the leftist policies of Democrats Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Democrats on the Sacramento City Council and Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, Democrat Gov. Newsom and Democrat state lawmakers. Democrats have been in control for years and they need to be held accountable for the destruction their policies have caused.
no surprise. I watch as Sacramento turned into the city of greed by displacing renters with bay area refugees with a higher income. while this happened officials are too busy concentrating on protecting the Trans population. spending money on ,'all-gender restrooms that real women will not use. our leaders need to pay more attention to protecting all residents

Agreed 100%!!!!
Is it possible that people in other cities aren't calling 311? The results are based on calls. I've lived in several California cities not thinking about calling these services. I do notice that Sacramentans are very quick to call 311. And that's good.
Completely agree with you. City residents NOT calling 311 likely reflects years of seeing it does no good. It is a sign of hopelessness and continued downward spiral. CALLING 311 shows active involvement and optimism. When those residents then see nothing is done it may convert and fire people up to FURTHER involvement and activism in a place that is seen as more manageable and fixable, unlike the chaotic maw of a place like (heaven help us down here) L.A. City and County. Now if that massive Sacramento resident SNIT could only be funneled into methodically tossing the Sacramento Dem backstabbing traitors OUT on their ears. It could happen.
Fingers crossed.
Not to rag on these places, but there are very few mid size rust belt cities on the study
All the more to leave the "golden state". Golden, the same color as the putrid stench of urine.
and all that gets done is nothing. don't think anyone has come up with a solution. spay and neuter
Newsome is a selfish self centered ass. he needs to be booted out of office along with pelosi. there greedy hipocrits and don't care about the people or the city!!!
He has reached his limit. I hope someone gets elected and clean up this place
We are the only ones to fix all the destruction that the parasites keep hitting us with and we have the great advantage that they hate the most-we outnumber them. They want uson line and stuck in complaining gear.
The parasite swarm behind our destruction want us on line reacting to everything that they orchastrate, they want us mentally leashed up and not organizing and being actively out there in the streets, getting our hands and clothes dirty (temporarily) and being 'leaders in our own communities' as Dr Shiva Ayyadurai says.
How do Californians rise to meet this seemingly relentless garbage/blight challenge?
In any community, this works; We the unelected, nobodies can just begin-with our own trash bags- and step in and the momentum will grow-or the tone is reset that this is not an area to dump trash in.
When it becomes uncommon (again) to see an area full of trash, it eventually stops.
This is neutral ground-everybody from every label/affiliation/genetic makeup can do something about before the sun sets today.
if we all wait until everything is safe and 'normal' again, we will wait forever.
"'You cant be afraid of making a sacrafice" If we wait, we will wait forever and we dont have forever. Stew Peters
Imagine a flash mob of people descending upon the worst area first, each one filling up a giant hefty bag of garbage.

i agree with this, this is what we need revolutionary positive change and if we get a couple of victories under our belt maybe then we can gather some following and real change can happen. Im only 32 but Ive watched our city,state, and country collapse. When I was young my parents at my age owned 2 homes, the american dream, but now I cant even afford rent! Let alone a child and a mortgage! The middle class is slowly dissappearing and cities like Sacramento are going to start happening everywhere.
2nd Prize! Quite an achievement for a State Capitol.
Unfortunately, the only job of "Non-governmental Organizations" (NGOs), much like government itself, is to perpetuate the illusion of *need* for their existence. If they actually SOLVED anything they wouldn't be *needed* anymore. They can only exist if there are *issues*, if there are ever SOLUTIONS, they cease to exist, as do their paychecks. Legislators help by creating legislation that encourages drug addiction (because ppl should be free to get high), discourages mental health intervention (because we can't force them to get help), encourages homelessness (because even those lying incapacitated on the streets deserve to be treated with *dignity*), encourages illegal immigration (because *refugees* deserve **free** stuff too), all to perpetuate the NEED for "humanitarian aid". Oh, and paychecks.
