All 50 States & 5 Territories in the USA Ranked WORST to BEST (2025)

Which US State or Territory would YOU want to live in the most?

Im from Louisiana and totally agree!

Utah has one of the worst air quality’s saying that as someone who lives in Utah

Nebraska sucks

I did not expect WA so high up the list, It is. The state is nice, but housing is getting as expensive as CA.

Let Hawaii go

No surprise. All of the worst states are all red😂

Alaska Is Also A State.

Great to see Pennsylvania go from mid-30s in your last video to mid-20s in this video!

Interesting but too easy to pick what is good and bad and all states have good bad. Will not subscribe

A lot of people forget this that Philadelphia was larger than New York when ?? 200 years ago ? Ohh I forgot 😂

Why is Massachusetts ranked 3rd for #1 crazy typo in editing lol

I feel like Pittsburgh deserves some love when talking about PA. It has a rich history and it's a blend of truly unique neighborhoods that feel disjointed yet cohesive at the same time.

I've been to every state and I'll tell you Wyoming Idaho Montana and North Dakota all sux

What number was Kentucky

As a Californian I need to tell you that California is the 5th largest economy in the world

PR 🇵🇷 isn’t cheap and the food isn’t good… was just there

Thx for putting my state Wisconsin at 13th place but there’s one thing…WHY DIDNT YOU TALK ABOUT MILLAUKEE THATS WHERE I LIVE

Lol just lol

Kansas was WAY too high.

Minnesotans are some of the biggest frauds on earth. Think Waltz.

Colorado. You completely missed the boat on Colorado. We live in Colorado. Health care? There isn't any. Public schools? The state has the lowest required school daze in the country. 160 days is a school year in CO. Now on top of that the delinquents, I mean students, can miss 10 days just because. After that they need a note to miss school. Can the delinquents read and write? No. Can they make change? NO! Now lets talk taxes. Should you be fortunate enough to purchase, lets say, a Ford Raptor you will pay at least $1,500 to register it. Now the morons, liberals, at DMV say that $1,500 isn't a tax it's a registration fee. But hold on the reg fee is based on the STICKER PRICE of the vehicle...so folks here pretty much drive beaters. Now traffic, it is horrible. Too much of it and these folks cannot drive. Now law enforcement. We are rated the THIRD MOST CORRUPT LAW ENFORCEMENT state in the country. Unfortunately Illinois beat us out of second place last year. The state and local governments are rated an "F". If you like to drink we are the third drunkest state. Third highest divorce rate state. If you like to eat good food, well, this ain't the place. The food here SUCKS. Oh and the summers. Yes we have over 300 days of sunshine but that comes at a price....it's too GD hot 9 months a year. Last February (2024) it was 97 degrees here and we had to run the ac. The cost of housing here is absurd. The people here are totally apathetic, rude, and stupid. There is no interest in improving anything here. Should you mention how effed up the local government is the local government will come after you. Our suggestion to anyone thinking of moving to Colorado is DON"T. P.S. Our family doctor, my cardiologist and my orthopedic surgeon all of them just picked up and left and that is in Colorado Springs. DO NOT COME here. You will regret it...we do.

This website is BS as it mainly focuses on the shortcomings of the largest population areas in the states and ignores the other areas, of the States/etc.,that defy or offset those shortcomings. Be more objective and eclectic in future critics to improve your credibility.

Yeah the hospital i have to always go to is in Portland Oregon and there are over 1000 homeless people everywhere you look. And i don't know how other cities are but my friend lost 3 of her kids just from suddenly getting shot there and i know a lot of other parents with the same story. Sure it's fun for teens like me to go plan a large day of fun activities but it is seriously overpopulated and dangerous there. My uncle actually got stuck in traffic for 4 hours once

Colorado is not #12. It is living in lists like yours from reputation alone. Costs are absolutely ridiculous and school system sucks.

If you play this video at 6.0 play speed he’s drunk it’s amazing. Your welcome

Maine the 3rd coldest?? How? Alaska. Minnesota. Both North and South Dakota. And Montana. ALL are colder with a longer winter than Maine. Sometimes it's so warm we only get rain. They have a Continental Climate and Maine is moderated by the Gulf Stream.

What about Columbia, SC?

SC is under rated. It’s very beautiful with nice beaches and palm metto trees. It has a lot of golf courses and is overall a nice state. Isn’t the best state in the US but it should have been WAY higher then it was ranked here

I absolutely loved Philly. Of course I was younger, so I was ok with big city hassles, but its a taste of NYC without the insane cost. Center City is awesome.

I would never put a state that's basically a giant desert higher than a state like Colorado. I'm not sure what everyone's appeal with Utah is

As a nevadan
One thing I know our capital is Carson city
But Las Vegas is getting all attention

Georgia not top 20 is criminal it is beutiful and most things you said were lies cause i used to live there

I don’t agree with him

I live in Massachusetts

Am I the only one is happy about how Massachusetts is ranked so high?

What a farce of a list with woke Taxachusetts at the top

You should rank major cities in the usa

Thanks for ranking Ohio #31 we don't need any more people moving here. The country in central Ohio is no longer a country. Too many people. Go somewhere else.

I live in Connecticut. And its great here. Plus ive been there on the videos on screen Yiu showed when it was Connecticut!

Happy Iowa got ranked so hi

I’m from Massachusetts and this could not be more true. The people are friendly, the wages are great, and the education system is excellent.

Any list in which California is in the bottom half of desirable places to live is automatically suspect. Its "problems" stem almost entirely from the fact that too many people want to live there!

Please add timestamps

Property taxes in Connecticut are horribly high

Well it depends where you live in each state and how much money you have !

South Carolina

Unless you have money Texas is close to 3rd world
