West Allis is the only Cheese State town to earn a spot on the list of the fastest shrinking cities in America. However, it’s unclear why exactly people are leaving! The schools are excellent, and the crime rate is low. However, back in 2019, the website 24/7 Wall St did name the Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis area, one of the worst places in the country to drive.
According to their index, West Allis saw 413.4 car thefts plus 7.9 traffic fatalities per 100,000 people, far surpassing the national average. Not only that, but 24/7 Wall St also named the area one of the drunkest places in the United States. As a result, a whopping 32.7% of driving deaths are related to alcohol! So, if you ever visit West Allis: stay off the road!
