I came out with the list of 10 worst states in America to live in 2021.
10. NEW MEXICO New Mexico is,
by far, the worst state in the entire country for 2021, according to this
scientific analysis. Sorry to break the news to you folks out there in the Land of Enchantment.
This is the fifth year in a row New Mexico took the “top spot”.
That’s not great for those playing at home. New Mexico sees more break-ins, armed robbery,
and theft than anywhere else. However, there is a saying there that if it’s not bolted down,
someone is going to take it, unless you put a sign that says FREE on it.” With a staggering 66% of
children finishing high school in New Mexico, their education system suffers year after year.
16% of New Mexicans age 16 and older have a reading level of 1 out of 5, which is equivalent
to barely being able to read a book meant for grade school kids. There’s a huge wealth gap in
New Mexico, and wages are really low, meaning there aren’t a lot of opportunities. When you
look at the numbers, overall, New Mexico ranks toward the bottom in just about every statistical
category you can measure. Are there any good things about living in New Mexico? Probably.
9. LOUISIANA Folks in Louisiana are really
singing the blues these days. That’s because things aren’t going so well for many of them. It’s
a mess down here, to be honest. Louisiana ranks in the bottom ten in 8 of 11 categories measured.
It’s third in crime, third in uninsured residents, third in poverty, fourth in income levels,
and Louisianans are the third least educated people in America. Factor in and some of the
highest local sales taxes in the entire country, and it is really hard to make ends meet here. Now,
before you get all down on Louisiana, you should know that the Pelican State is actually full of
some good, friendly and giving people. The Cajun Navy is a bright spot here, whenever
something goes wrong in this city, you can bet the first people on the scene will be neighbours
and strangers. Also, there’s crawfish everywhere here. You can get crawfish jello, crawfish beer,
crawfish peanut butter, crawfish cereal, crawfish ice cream, and crawfish spice latest.
8. ARKANSAS While thus state doesn’t place last
in a number of categories like Mississippi does, it’s worse off in more of it overall. They are as
poor as folks in Mississippi, but it’s even more dangerous in this state than it is in Mississippi.
Like other southern states on our list, it’s a poor place with little opportunity. Although,
to be fair, some of the gun shots that ring out in Arkansas every day may not be due to crime.
Now, what’s interesting about this state is the fact that the Natural State ranked 10th
in the nation for happiest states, according to a national poll that was conducted last year.
So, statistics aside, people here don’t really seem to care a lick. There are some bright spots
here. For fun, you could join an outhouse racing league, or join in on some spontaneous hog calls.
7. SOUTH CAROLINA. This state, the butt of North Carolina, has pretty
big problem when it comes to crime. That’s the leading cause of its 7th place ranking for 2021.
Surprisingly, South Carolina has the third worst property crime in the nation. You have a 1 in 70
chance of being the victim of a property crime for every year you spend in the Palmetto State.
More so, this state is also the 4th worst place in America for online dating.
So, if you’re looking for love here, swipe at your own risk. Other factors that also make
this state worst in include very high poverty rates and America’s ninth lowest income levels.
This state ranks first for number of mobile home parks per capita, too. This is really
bad news during hurricane season. But there are reasons to be proud of living in South Carolina.
Clemson has won the college football title several times in the past years congrats to
the Tigers. Then there’s the boiled peanut stand on every highway off-ramp. Boiled peanuts are
like regular peanuts, but they’re boiled. And lastly, the beach communities are some of the
best on the east coast, where people come from all over the world to play golf and vacation
6. ALABAMA Not so Sweet Home Alabama. The state finds
itself as the sixth worst state to live in America this year. In addition, this state is the eighth
poorest place in the nation. While not having money doesn’t necessarily mean a place is lousy,
having a lot of crime does. Alabama ranks eighth for total number of crimes committed each year.
In terms of opportunities, there aren’t many here; at 5.92%, Alabama has the nation’s 11th highest
number of people out of work and the population isn’t educated enough to demand raises, either.
Across the board, there isn’t actually a single category where Alabama excels.
Now on paper, this state may not have southern charm,
but there’s a lot more than meets the eye. There’s a low cost of living here,
and a ton of outdoors to explore, where you can learn how to get unstuck from the mud with
all your buddies. Do you know more people go to church in Alabama than anywhere else? Alright.
It’s also true that more people die of strokes in Alabama than in any other state, too. Aww man.
5. OKLAHOMA You knew we were going to mention Oklahoma SOONER
or later, right? The sixth worst state for 2021 goes to this state where do we begin, Oklahoma?
First off, the population isn’t insured, this state ranks seventh lowest in number of people
with medical insurance. Considering that 43% of Okies carry guns, it might be surprising that this
state has America’s sixth highest property crime rate. Robbers must just like taking their chances
here. Now, while people might say they love the cost of living in Oklahoma, the fact that this
state has America’s fourth lowest home values is a sign that there isn’t a lot of desire to
live here, plain and simple. Another interesting fact is that they have the highest women in their
prison system than any other state. Some tough broads in the Sooner state. And, to top it off,
it eats the least number of fruits and veggies of anywhere else. Now, they are not all bad. More so,
they are actually known as awful friendly folk who love living in wide open spaces.
4. ALASKA This state finds itself as the
fourth worst place to live in America for 2021. The northern most, and western most, state in the
country has high average crime, unemployment, and poverty. The schools aren’t great and the
cost of living is actually pretty high given that everything has to be shipped up north.
And while we don’t analyse the weather for this analysis, it’s safe to say that the state
as a whole doesn’t fair on to well on that metric either. That poor weather and lack of
sunshine probably has something to do with the highest rate of violent crime in the US. So,
any way you slice it, it takes a certain kind of person to want to live in The Last Frontier state.
And, for the most part, you’d probably want to live somewhere else in America.
3. TENNESSEE You know the saying. There’s
Nashville and there’s the rest of Tennessee. According to science, both are undesirable.
Incomes are the tenth lowest in America, which means lots of Tennesseans are living in poverty,
and many struggles to find decent jobs outside of the booming capital of Nashville. Part of that is
due to a population that ranks in the bottom 10 for education. Tennessee is top in the nation
for number of immunize residents, which is good or bad, depending on if you’re an anti-vexer.
But most importantly, in this state, crime is remarkably bad. Did you know Tennessee has the
nation’s third highest violent rate? Memphis, in particular, is a real mess. It consistently ranks
as one of the most destitute, dangerous dives in the country. Memphis is so bad, that even Google
Street view doesn’t go down many of its streets, many of which are near Graceland. But, have you
ever had a Goo Cluster? They were invented in and manufactured in this state. They’re delectable,
and there’s even Goo Goo Ice Cream. Once you have some, you’ll be goo goo for goo
goo. 2. MISSOURI
Well, I guess I shouldn’t have moved from North Carolina to Missouri. And while I definitely live
in the best part of Missouri right outside of St. Louis, it’s pretty clear to see in the data that
the state as whole isn’t all that great. From a number’s perspective, the poverty level is 13.68%,
good for second worst in the country. Violent crimes are relatively sky high
at the second worst, especially in St. Louis proper and north St. Louis.
And while I love living close to the city, much of the population lives in the rural parts of the
state with not much in the way of anything to do. On the plus side, home prices aren’t too
bad and the cost of living is pretty good, although I guess you get what you pay for.
1. MISSISSIPPI This state is a real work in progress. This really
pretty state ranks as the worst, or close to it, in five categories including college graduates,
income levels, home prices and jobs. The education system in Mississippi is pretty lousy.
Did you know 32% of the population over the age of 18 in Mississippi cannot spell their state’s name
and another 27% don’t know the name of the river that shares the same name as the state?
Well, that’s what we read on the internet at least. Much of them also have a big shortage
of medical doctors, too. The state has the nation’s highest obesity rate and highest
rates for women dying of heart disease and breast cancer. Now, people in Mississippi
are pretty proud to be from this state, and they admit their state has flaws, but they love it.
To conclude am sure we are a bit surprise that America also has worst state to live in.
Well don’t be surprised for everything has it disadvantages and it advantages
as well as countries do. Hoping you have enjoyed our list and have learn a lot today,
