The SLC valley is already a blazing hot air pollution bath. Give it another 30 years of discharging engineered data center cooling liquids and their water will be #1.

Bridgeport is an interesting one. The rest are all pretty predictable and go back to either recent hypergrowth or a dirty past (coal/oil/ag/chemicals).

Though Provo is in the 10 least contaminated.

If you look at the core study, in the 100 worst there are about 30 Texas cities. It's truly impressive what 30 years of statewide Republican rule can do. I guess they calculated that lead poisoning leads to GOP votes.
 
As someone who has spent most of his life on the ocean coasts, my category of Middle America cities with civilization.

New Orleans

< huge gap >

Minneapolis
Austin
Chicago
Madison

< huge gap >

St. Louis (for chess)
 
My rock bottom, based on work travel because I'd never go for fun, was OKC.

STL is down there too, but the only bland sprawling hellhole that can truly give OKC a run for its money is Orlando. Even DFW at least has good bbq 5-10 minutes from the airport.
