Salmon tops ‘Idaho redneck’ town list

An online outfit named RoadSnacks has provided its list of "10 Most Redneck Cities in Idaho" -- and only two North Idaho towns make the list: No. 3 St. Maries and No. 4 Ponderay. Writes Fredrick Marksman for RoadSnacks:

Is there anything really wrong with being called an Idaho redneck? Sure, every state has them. While they might be defined with a different criteria in other states, there’s plenty of them all over Potato Land. Plus, we’ve heard Idaho is almost 100% rednecks of some variety. I mean, you guys have more guns than kids. And have you ever heard this joke: "Did you hear that the governor’s mansion in Idaho burned down? Almost took out the whole trailer park." Salmon and Burley, by the way, lead the pack. More including complete list of Idaho redneck towns here.

Question: Which town should have been in the Top 10 that wasn't?
