Cons

• High Crime Rates

• Crime in Coffeyville is significantly above both Kansas and U.S. averages—violent crime roughly 1 in 162, property crime 1 in 32 chance per person per year

• Niche gives a “C‑” safety grade, and many residents cite drug-related violence and general law enforcement concerns

• Economic Struggles & Limited Jobs

• Median household income (~$38K–41K) is well below state and national figures; poverty rates hover around 20%

• Though the refinery provides jobs, many young professionals find limited opportunities locally and may commute or relocate for work

• Population Decline & Vacancy Issues

• The city’s population has been shrinking since its 1960s peak, with empty neighborhoods—especially properties purchased by the refinery as buffer zones or lost to the 2007 flood—remaining undeveloped

• Some cross-town patterns still show abandoned lots and structural decline from that flood and economic shifts

• Amenities & Transportation Are Limited

• Public transit is minimal, making a car necessary; most amenities are not walkable from central points

• Entertainment options are sparse—residents note limited shopping, theaters, or nighttime activities; parks and local fairs only scratch the surface

• Schools & Education Quality Concerns

• Local school proficiency in math and reading is notably below state and national levels, and district rankings remain average-to-below average
