Wow, many of them homes were in good original shape in 2007. Something drastic in abandonment or fires? Must have happened?
Really just depends. Even just leaving the buildings vacant for a decade plus will be enough to do them in, especially if looters come in looking for raw materials.
St. Louis currently has that problem with a developer named Paul McKee who conned the city by acquiring a lot of properties in north St. Louis claiming he was going to redevelop them. The city gave him a lot of financial incentives for the purpose as well, but in the end he let them rot for a similar period of time. Many are lost causes now.
I'm not gonna post 3 Google Street view images of my city, because nobody will care.
We've already heard from Cookeville, Tenn, Frederick, Md. and Sammamish, Washington, to name a few others in the "who cares" category, so please don't be shy. They're all good!

I am interested in people who truly post "nice, average, rough" but who don't cherry-pick, and try to actually choose representative areas. And especially those who follow the OPs guidelines of 3 only, not multiple neighborhoods. Just pick 3 and move on, please. No explanations are necessary.
