How to use "Dilapidated" in context?

Across the United States, there are neighborhoods that are described as "dilapidated." This is often due to a lack of care and maintenance by local and state governments. This can lead to a unsafe environment and dangerous living conditions. Despite this, many people still live in these areas because they are economically deprived and don't have other options.

In some cases, local governments are unable or unwilling to invest in these neighborhoods. This leaves the residents with very little hope for a better future. This is compounded by the fact that the residents are often isolated from major economic and social opportunities. Many of these areas are located in poor and minority neighborhoods.
