The Worst States to Live in America for 2024

Did you know that in 2021, 7.9 million people in the US moved to a new state, up from 7.4 million people two years earlier?

Glad south carolina made it on this list cus i was thinking the same thing

[leonray]

All of the southern states are the worst in almost everything except for southern hospitality for the rich 🤑 and gossip!

[josephgoebbels]

I am from a poor country in Latin America and any poor state in the United States is better and much more beautiful than my own country.

My home state of louisiana should sadly be #1 for the worst highway infrastructure: roads will beat your body up in your vehicle & have one too many accidents happen on most roads around you & you could be sitting still for 30 minutes to hours!!

List doesn't even factor cost of living

[Starseed-iz]

I’ve lived everywhere and there’s just no place like the MIDWEST. I will forever be a MIDWEST GIRL. ❤

I've personally moved across to about five states, since having a pretty rough and traumatic upbringing within my home state of Maryland. Out of all of them within the list, I can say the absolute best states in which I've lived and worked are most definitely: Texas, Iowa, Ohio, New York and New Jersey, the last one I currently am employed and living with both my fiance and 3 kids in, and thankfully haven't come to regret it since nor do I believe so.

Videos like this are such a waste of time. If you seriously wanted to do research on picking a new place to live these videos should come with a disclaimers. This is my opinion and here is the out of date studies and unverifiable "facts' said to be from big name research companies. It's laughable.

The South well represented on this list.
Also mostly red states.

I live in Biloxi Mississippi. Absolutely love it here! Enjoy your snow shoveling Yankees! 😂

Good morning and Greetings from Jundiaí- Brazil
Could you please answer me a question ?
What’s the real difference between America and The United States ?
In your videos I’ve watched, you shift the usage of the word America and The United States like the topic: The worst States To Live In America.
There’s a famous song named Born in the U.S.A. sung by Bruce Springsteen when he refers the U.S.A as his country.
If America is country as you titled your videos, why didn’t Bruce Springsteen sing Born in America”?
Just curiosity and as a way of leaning the main difference of these terms.
Happy 2024

People need to stop judging places based on politics and electoral maps, it’s getting old.

[kurtfranklin]

I’m born and raised in Hawaii and currently living there. I have lived in California and Oregon. I will be moving to Georgia will never live that Democrat run state again.

[jozette-pierce]

I think Illinois, New York, and California are much worse than any of those listed here.

[albertwolanski]

Why West Virginia separated from Virginia in 1862, I would never know. Maybe it is time to ask for forgiveness?

[ArturoVilchez]

I wonder what most of these have in common 😂 the party of “economy” has the worst states. Incredible 😂

Only safe family-friendly parts of Arkansas are in Fayetteville, Springdale, and Rogers.
