Not to be a jerk but Detroit and Cleveland are fairly defined. They are run down post industrial cities with stagnant economies. Obviously not everyone is poor and there are nice things and a culture to be appreciated, but it is true opportunity is limited compared to most other cities. Perhaps the extent to which the environment resembles an actually industrial city as it’s post industrial reality is overplayed, but so is NYC and LA’s violent crime. People from Indianapolis think NYC is dangerous when Indy is more dangerous than NYC by a lot.
Also Cleveland isn’t quite on the same level of rundownness/abandonment as Detroit
Plus the actual people of the industrial Midwest are typically defined as hard nosed, hard working, generally good true Americans even if working class or lower class. In both pop and political culture.
White Conservatives are more likely to associate filth, crime and shootings with SF NYC LA. probably in that order too.
Im a white liberal as a conservative would call me and when i think of bad reputations I think of Baltimore, St. Louis, and dilapidated midwestern/appalachian cities like Toledo.

Pop culture, folks. Movies, tv shows, music, magazines, sports, etc.
It's a tie between Cleveland and Newark. Outside of Philly which other cities get negative publicity and rarely any positive press? Has Chicago been compared to hell like Newark has on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" Don't forget this gem from "House MD":

Grief is Newark. Okay, it's there. You can't avoid it. The idea is to hold your nose, hope the traffic's not too bad and get on to Manhattan as quickly as possible, not to buy property.
