Why is Great Falls, Montana one of America's Most Miserable Cities?

Personally, I don't think Great Falls should be included on the list. I've been to a lot of different cities, and Greats Falls is far from the worst. Some Montanans aren't too impressed by the city though. It has been referred to as "Mediocre Falls" in the past.

Here's what Travado.com had to say about Great Falls;

Great Falls may not actually be so bad considering the median household income is just $44,725 and just 14.5% live below the poverty level. The national average poverty rate is 15.1% so the city isn't doing too badly.

Being named one of the most miserable cities in America isn't the best news for Great Falls. but at least the city wasn't in the top 10. I'm just trying to find the silver lining. Chances are that the person who wrote the article has never actually been to Great Falls.
