Nebraska, hospitality....
"They are not a Southern state, but they have that southern hospitality...."
It is called Midwestern hospitality....
😄
This made me laugh, not familiar with either but actually plan on checking out the southeast and then Midwest for relocating somewhere out of NJ…. I have a strong feeling the people in the Midwest are going to be much nicer.
@@itsnick37, most of us midwesterners are pretty hospitable! I live in Wisconsin and we call it Midwest Nice!
Love Nebraska where my Dad grew up.
Southern ? Rude people
Nice list Briggs. Something I've noticed over the years, never judge and entire state by its big cities. Or what you've seen on television on in movies.
Thanks
Unless it's Portland, Oregon...I live about 30 miles from that city and it's not far enough away...I'm looking to move to Iowa, that MIGHT be far enough away from Portland. ;)
Good point. Salt Lake City is a shAt hole. But otherwise Utah is lovely. Especially around sunrise and sunset!
What indiana didn't make this list hmm
@@MrJedi5150hey, that’s fair. I spent very little time in SLC. Beautiful mountains surrounding the city.
I went to one party while there. Everyone, and I mean literally everyone was putting white drugs up their nose. It was as normal as weed or drinks.
Those Mormon rejects, drop outs, those kids are effed up. Nicotine and other drug addictions was basically to be expected. Kids with years of rough drug abuse by the time they’re 19.
Like I said, I barely spent any time there, and I’m commenting on my impression of the young adult crowd.
This was spring 2018.
I wish em the best. Love Utah but all that drugs stuff was wild. Mormonism effs em up one way or the other. Most of those kids were trying to escape that highly strict and religious parameters.
Open to learning more. Yes, other cities can be far worse in comparison. Blacklivesmatterrrr Hahahha!
“I identify as a fully vaccinated, prepubescent sloth. Add another color to the flag!”
Thank you for all the research, Briggs. You've done it again!
I spent a couple weeks with my friends in AZ. I suffered the whole time. My nose, skin and throat were so dry. I could hardly talk my throat was so dry. I said I would never complain about humidity again, I actually like how it keeps my skin soft.
Amen.
Wow, yep. Interesting to see other people say this. When I moved to Southern Virginia from Pennsylvania, afterwards I could breathe and sleep so much better because the air was a lot less harsh. It was relatively dry climate in Northwestern PA.
@@secretivesolitude8233 Wow! Never thought I'd hear PA referred to as dry!
- Utah
Amen. The first time I flew west from the south, I landed in Arizona in summer. I had to breathe into an airsickness bag on the tarmac because I thought my lungs were going to implode from the dry air. I thought I was choking.
There’s these things called water, lotion, and nasal spray btw.
The river that runs by Arcadia Nebraska is called the Middle Loup. People like to float down it in stock tanks. We call it tanking. Absolutely gorgeous scenery!
Wi has a bunch of rivers to float too.
I did not doubt my state would make the list, but waited with bated breath. It made the list! Great video Briggs. I was kind of surprised by some of the states on the list. I have upcoming lifestyle changes and would like to see more states. Thanks always for you great posts!
I live in Utah valley just south of Salt Lake, and I do have to say, seeing the growth and hearing all the positive things about Utah makes me proud of where I live. I lived in northern Indiana for a while, and I never noticed how pretty the mountains were until I moved back to Utah! I still get awe struck!
That a great video. Thanks for sharing amazing list to everyone!
Would love to travel to some of these states just because if this list. Thanks briggs
Love this video!! Thanks Briggs!! ❤
I seriously thought Colorado would be #1. Our growth here in Colorado is outrageous. People love to move here, especially from NY and NJ. Oh and from California, Texas, and Florida.
Colorado has gotten expensive and has a spiked in crime in quite a few areas. Pueblo for example, is a crime cesspool for a place its size.
@thullraven1 Too be fair, that's been Pueblo's reputation my entire life. Even in the 80's and 90's Pueblo was the running joke of drug addicts and criminals. It's why Cañon City has the state pen, easy distance from Pueblo.
@@amh31Exactly, Coming from Colorado Springs
And, fun fact, Colorado is the least obese state in the U.S.
Thanks for this helpful list! I was surprised to see at number one
Been waiting for this one! Thanks Briggs 🍺
I ❤ your channel. It’s always so interesting and entertaining. Ty
Brigg, you are going to laugh but one of those photos is of Virginia City NV. lol. The Red Dog saloon is a cool place and been there many times.
Virginia City is a fun town to visit. Check out Squeek Steele if she's playing piano at the Bucket of Blood. The drive up Geiger Grade has incredible views!
Have missed your videos Briggs but am so happy that you have brought up home state Massachusetts ❤❤❤
My home state too. I live in Marblehead!! 😊
Just moved bank to New Hampshire last week after spending 15 years in Oklahoma. Perfect timing on this video, Briggs! Thrilled to be back in the Granite State
were u held by gunpoint? why OK
Well, this may be a biased opinion because I was raised in the PNW but have lived all over the US but both Washington and Oregon have some of the coolest/nicest small towns like Skamania and Stevenson Wa. You don't hear much about them because they are just that, small towns you haven't heard of and we prefer it that way. Keeps those little towns, well, little.
Problem is shitty state government and each state has a massive shit hole for large cities. When the inmates run the asylum you get Portland and Seattle.
I've always heard middle and east Washington and Oregon were amazing, though. But at that point, I think I'd just choose Idaho.
@@nolan564 yawn
@@nolan564 I think western OR & WA near the coast are pretty fantastic too. Just the further you are from Seattle / Tacoma / Portland the better I think. But even Olympia / Lacey is pretty nice.
I despise govt overreach and deliberately live away from cities and even the nearest town is miles away. The farther away from civilization I am, the better. I just want to be left alone to live as I see fit.
Yet another excellent Briggs video. You're truly one of my favorite RUclipsrs. Verhampshire, maybe?
IF I had the $$,I'd probably move to one of the New England states since I love that part of the country. I can't stand heat or humidity and not fond of any
desert climate. I like the water
or mountains even and ❤ snow
A smaller Vermont town is ideal
I wonder what amount of money in the bank would be needed to move to one of the NE states
Quite a bit in Vermont,based on the cost of housing alone,sigh!!
Maine away from the coast is still somewhat affordable
If you don't like heat or humidity, NE isn't for you. You get your 4 seasons but these blue states are overtaxed, overpriced, and the educational system has gotten really bad.
@@mosesdevadass6056 Not that much. Rural towns have some affordable housing. And unemployment is low so if you need a job you can find one. And VT used to pay $10,000 for remote workers to move there. Not sure if that is still happening though. That was back before the pandemic. Now everybody wants to move there to get away from the cities.
The problem with Utah is the rising cost of living compared to incomes
And Mormons too.
Best small towns in Pennsylvania ! From New Hope to Jim Thorpe, to Honesdale and Milford and recently discovered for me out in Western PA oddly enough a town called North East!
I think it’s interesting when you talk about all the places you’ve visited. I’m curious how you make it happen so frequently.
Lol I think the Oregon Trail game had a "settle here" option somewhere in Nebraska if you didn't want to finish the game all the way to Oregon. Sounds about right.
We looked hard at Nebraska. The properties we looked at had issues with nitrates in the well water. We ended up in Idaho.
Briggs, you have no idea how bad it is out here in Waldo, WI.
Yup, like a war zone
😂One of the best lines
Where's Waldo?
@@drewwho4512 obviously he's in Wisconsin... somewhere
@keinlieb3818 He could be anywhere by now. In reality, I live about 30 miles from Waldo, which is in Sheboygan County, roughly 30 miles due north of Milwaukee. It's a rural, nice town typical here in Wisconsin. Perhaps I'll check for Waldo there.
I’ve lived in Minnesota for 24 years , we don’t have tornados up way north , we dont get hurricanes, just blizzard these usually clear up in a few days and back to life as usually . Beautiful wildlife and nature trails
How many months don't include ice and snow?
About 5 months. June thru early October😊@@C3Voyage
Back to life as usual = back to temps in the teens as usual, after the storm warmed it up into the 30s for a couple days.
Snow.😮
The one dimensional belief that Minnesota is only ever cold is annoying. Yes, Minnesota has cold winters, but it also has summers that range from warm to oppressively hot. I've seen the phrase "Antarctica in the winter, Vietnam in the summer" used to describe Minnesota's weather.
Minnesota has a higher record high than eight of the eleven southern states that formed the Confederacy (and is in parody with Mississippi on that record, at 115°F), and Minneapolis has higher mean maximum, mean daily maximum, and mean daily temperatures for the month of July than Los Angeles.
I live in Michigan and my old church used to take a trip to Wisconsin Dells with the youth group every year.
It was always a fun trip.
I have 3 kids now and have considered it now as a vacation when the kids get a bit older.
That being said, as a Michigander myself, definitely surprised we weren't somewhere at least on.the lower end of the list. Guess that's.what happens when the compiler (or maybe the composter in this case) gets all their "statistics" from websites that meet with their confirmation biases LOL.
@@a.grimes4202 it’s because of Detroit. I live in West Michigan by the lake so I know full well Detroit does not represent the entire state. But when people think Michigan they always go to Detroit or Flint and think the whole states bad.
Wisconsin Kenosia and Milwaukee. Went to both places on liberty out of boot. Had a blast, great people.
You mean Kenosha?
@stevehoppenjan At least I got Milwaukee right 🤣🤣
@@binksterb yes. Good job. That's a tough one.
Nice video, Briggs! Just wanted to point out that while talking about Virginia you included B-roll from Virginia City, Nevada! 😂
I know, right? That happens a very very lot in his videos.
Thank you for information!
Agree with you on Vermont for best small towns. Also love Maine for small towns.
I've lived in many states, but Vermont is where I'm retiring. Beautiful small towns. Favorite town is Newport.
As a person who grew up in rural Wisconsin, I can say the appeal of water parks is understandable. The rivers can be good for canoeing and fishing, but not great for swimming. The agricultural runoff makes the water dirty, and the river bends tend to be dangerous. It should be noted that many water parks are indoors, so they can operate all year round.
Informative for sure. Entertaining. As usual.
Thank you
I love these videos
Thanks
Thx Briggs
Great video. So, based on this video…Nebraska and South Dakota over Iowa? Okay. 👍🏻
I live in Idaho and it’s pretty great but the home prices in the last 5 years have gone through the roof compared to the wages here.
Great video! Are you going to rank the provinces again for 2024 as well?
Thank you for the video
Another great video 👍
You mentioned Williamsburg and Jamestown. I visited Virginia not too long ago stayed a week in Williamsburg and really loved visiting that area, Jamestown, York, William and Mary College, and more very interesting, a must if you are into American History.
We just moved to Virginia. After looking around we landed in Stauton a beautiful Victorian town. Which has super low crime and people are super friendly. It has these gorgeous views of the blue Ridge Mountain. We bought a beautiful brand new 3 bed house for the price of 1 bedroom condo in California. It has amazing views. The weather is mild, not too hot or humid. We heard from the locals that the snow is not too bad.
For a guy looking at retirement in a few years, this video was interesting. Thanks for the good work.
I learned a hard lesson from my uncle who retired to the Gulf coast of Florida recently. He loves it there but when he had a health scare he had to drive to ALABAMA for treatment. The best medical care was in Miami. So maybe pick a place that doesn't just offer lower taxes but is within driving distance of good medical care.
I am obligated as a Texan to say you’re wrong 🤠 lol. I have been through Vermont and New Hampshire having lived in Western NY for most of my life so I’m not mad at it. Beautiful stated
I been watching your videos for a while - I didn't know you speak spanish - always watch them in english - but either language is fine with me - always enjoy - good information and good videos
He grew up in CA. I did not know it either. I have been a fan since pandemic days.
I was born in Lincoln Nebraska my mom
Loved it there
Ah, you caught me….I’m the one who stole all the ketchup! I couldn’t help myself!
I don't blame yeah. They got the stuff just sitting on the tables just waiting to be snatched up. I always thought they were free for the taking as well. Why else would they just set them out on the tables?
I have enjoyed this video.
I love your videos. The best in RUclips.
Born and raised in CA. In the process of moving to South Dakota! ( the Black Hills) beautiful well kept secret- till now !
Please don't bring CA politics with you!
@@liz5465they will
Ever spent a winter in South Dakota? You might want to before making it your permanent home. One of my cousins’ wife is from western South Dakota. She will NOT go to SD in the winter.
I moved from Oregon to Rapid City in 2019, it was ok….South Dakota got old fast…I ended up moving away…the CONSTANT wind, giant spiders, and Californians/Texans/Floridians that were starting to infiltrate a city that really wasn’t meant for an influx of people got old…other than the Black Hills, my wife and I thought South Dakota was ugly and flat and bland…we were more than ok getting out of there! No thanks for me personally
@@Landonmoto39Where did you go?
Utah is awesome- nice bucket list for vacation.
Pretty great place to live too! 😉
Errrr....wait. We now have some of the highest real estate prices in the country. So yeah. just an awesome place to visit. Like you said! (actually I have 3 houses here so I'm loving it, but I feel bad for my kids).
Stay away, Utah native here and we definitely DON'T WANT more people here. No thanks
Utah always makes these lists, but nothing's changed about the environmental factors. Biggs puts this on his list every year. The ozone (skin cancer) and inversions (asthma, lung cancer, etc) is enough for me to not live there.
@Jedi's Journey I've changed a lot since HMB in the 90's. The fog bothered me way less than the cold wind, which was constant. Back then, I longed for the sunny skies of Tahoe. These days, I can't tolerate the constant sun and heat. I'm in Reno and am uncomfortable from April through early November. I spent a couple of months in Port Orchard and found the misty weather so refreshing. I love the snow but am tired of dreading summer every year.
I love your videos but where you want to live often depends on where you are in your life. There are several states I would live in if I was still working but now that I’m retired my priorities change. Weather and proximity to my children are the most important factors now. I grew up in North Dakota and it was a good place to grow up-low crime, good public schools, decent job opportunities. In my retirement years I would never consider it due to the frigid winters and mosquitoes in summer. I still have siblings there and they have mixed feelings about it but I think they would move to somewhere warmer once they retire.
I live in New Hampshire and I love it. With all the trees, hills, lakes, rivers, mountains there's beauty around every corner. Great fall foliage. Plenty of jobs, etc... etc...
And cold. And snow. And snow. And cold.
Jobs? Yes, minimum wages jobs serving tourists.
When I see your list of states, it's always about the humidity for me. I really, really, really, really HATE humidity. It's a serious deal breaker for me. It would be interesting to find out what the deal breakers are for, otherwise, good states to live in.
Move to the Desert Southwest, you will love it there! Your skin will be so dry that you’ll be a top consumer of skin lotion and Chapstick, and bottled water.
My deal breaker is heat in general. After five years in Reno, I'm desperate for a place that is cool year round. Western Washington is still at the top of my list.
I live for hot and humid weather. It's the south or Hawaii, or it is unacceptable for me.
@@stacistein702I'm the exact opposite. My sweet spot is 20-55° F. It hit 70° today...I was miserable even in the shade. If there's no snow, I won't go 😂
@@feliciasampson8032 The immediate west coast from SF to Seattle will probably be your best bet, if you want a relatively cool/mild climate while also avoiding the extreme cold and snow that northeast and midwest get every winter. It's also the coolest region in the country during the summer months.
I have familial ties to Vermont and upstate NY. The small towns I traveled thru were so quaint. The upstate pizza joints were in private homes, mom & pop all the way.
Interesting list. Diversity plays a huge factor where I live and unfortunately majority on this list lacks it.
Vancouver WA is on my short list for places to retire to.
Do a middle of the road states list!!!
Agree - Vermont has the most amazing small towns. I grew up in Connecticut and my family always traveled to VT for long weekends and vacations.
Those little towns in southern Vermont blow up in the summer. Good for them, fun for us.
Thank you for your service in the Army Mr. Briggs
Great video, keep up the good work
Thank you.
Thank you for making these videos. I'm looking to leave NM.
I have a friend in NM and she doesn't like the populated places. She lives off grid and away from the bs.
@@metalmamasue3680 wise choice 👌
lol why are you moving I was thinking about moving to NM
I grew up in New England, have lived and spent plenty of time in small towns there, but I also ended up living in a small Colorado mountain town, and those are now my favorites
And the number 1 channel for the most ADVERTISEMENTS!!! THIS CHANNEL!!!
Newbie here...a NH resident. I wonder if they consider the low unemployment rate could be partly due to the fact that it is so costly to live here. Housing is out of control, as are property taxes and the desirable parts of the state are off limits to a single income, even for a solo person unless you are a higher earner.
It's also due to the fact that most of the NH residents live close to Metro Boston. About 15% of NH residents work in MA and many used to be MA residents themselves before buying cheaper homes in NH.
Lived in 2 US states...N.Dakota...great hunting/fishing and Wisconsin...graduated high school Waupaca....another great place.
All these states are cold,! ❄️😢
Fr red flag
@@marythompson7240 Cold states have lower crime typically, but yeah the cold sucks. It's great for half the year with all the lakes.
I been waiting for this
Since the worst were mostly in the south, I figured the best had to be in the North and I was right. You left out the weather for some of these, especially Wisconsin & SD.
I hate cold weather 😎
I was surprised no mine no Pennsylvania no Minnesota. Those are my biggest surprises.
Rural PA is a great place, I've been here most of my 6 decades.
My dad was born outside Philadelphia and we visited there a lot of times I like it
I live on the border between VT and NH. They have distinctly different flavors. You can really feel the difference when you cross the border.
And politics too.
Ben & Jerry’s on one side and something else on the other?
I live in a small border town in MA, less than a mile to NH. We do most of our errands in NH as there's not much in my town and Nashua is the closest small city. Beautiful woods, camp, fish n kayak in the summer, snowshoe or ski in winter. We spend time in VT and ME also. Life is good. Not moving anywhere.
I live in Vermont and it is beautiful! I've lived in many small towns. And I'm now in Burlington, which is the biggest. I lived in Hanover New Hampshire in my teens and early 20's. Then back to Vermont. Hanover was a great place to live. Lots of nice small towns. My son lives in Utah and really likes it.
35 years ago I lived in Austin TX. LOVED IT. i lived in the bay area California and all the New England states. So plus Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, NYC...
Loved reading the comments. So fun. I'm a binge watcher of The World According to Briggs. Thank you.
It’s not where you live that makes a difference it is who you know.
Virginia and North Carolina are the best two states in the United States. (yes, Virginia is also a known as a Commonwealth).
(and yes, I’m biased, but who can blame me)
- Angelo
Would you consider publishing the full list so that we can see where all of the states ranked?
NE & SD are good, live currently in SD, NE is visited often in my travels
You audio is a bit hot and over compressed. What do you use for your audio chain? (old central WA radio engineer asking)
Funny talking about crime in Wisconsin the channel codebluecam is mainly focused on police activity in Wisconsin its shining star town is La Crosse, Wi. It’s a wild place haha
Durango, Colorado best small town
Been there a couple of times, long ago. I liked it.
I live in NH 😂 kinda cool to see it make the list, I don't hear you mention it often lol
Hey briggs do you have a video with the cleanest air in the usa
All of them are in the Frozen North. That's automatically a big NOPE for me. I haven't shoveled snow in over 30 years and I'm keeping it that way.
You could hire it done. We have good summers to enjoy.
@@victoriamaaske7420 Maybe so, but I still don't like cold weather and it's cold a lot more than where I am now. I lived in NJ, and Upstate NY, and I've been in NE states and WI. I live in TX. If I ever leave here, I won't be going to the lands of snow and ice.
I have the sane thoughts about the heat in the south, except those southern states are consistently at the other end of the rankings
@@ehenningsen Not all of them. For example, NC and TX consistently rank high. In the case of NC, you don't get the really hot Summers.
@@thullraven1Nj isn’t that cold in the winter lol try Minnesota.
You nailed this one we moved to new hampshire five years ago and never looked back. The quality of living is like nothing ive ever seen. Even the state government is friendly and actually responds to the problems of its people.
That sounds so very refreshing to this Alabaman.
So the opposite of FloriDUH, noted.
Hi love your videos, can you please tell us what are your sources for these statistics?
Very interesting list, Briggs. Some surprising inclusions. Wish my state had been rated higher. Oh well...
I live in Wisconsin and its beautiful out here
Want to visit Wisconsin
Wisconsin only good for people
You have a bunch of lakes. Lots of freshwater.
Nebraska, south dakota... apparently you didnt consider the boring factor.
To be fair some folks like boring. I don’t get it. But to each their own.
@@1massboy If your life is boring that means something exciting is not happening but at the same time something terrible is also not happening. Some people like that bet
Define boring. Both states have 1 or 2 decently sized cities. Or if you prefer the countryside you can live there.
Or the freezing factor...
I moved from Texas to Utah 3 years ago and have absolutely loved it. Weather is nice most of the year, you get all 4 seasons, infinite outdoors things to do, i feel like my family is very safe here and there's a good family environment cultivated by the LDS people (I am not LDS). It has its quirks due to the LDS community and just how they live their lives, but honestly name a place that doesn't have some quirkiness to it. I can still buy beer when i want it and liquor on non-sundays. There's a lot more diversity here than there used to be which means the food scene has improved drastically. Oh and now we have NHL hockey as of like a week ago. I do miss aspects of Texas, like rolling thunderstorms that last all night, or top tier comfort food, but I'm happy to have moved here.
What part of Utah, if you don’t mind me asking?
Wow, a drone flyover of Floyd Ave. in Richmond VA! Wouldn’t have imagined, Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine.
That was footage from Homeland security!
Surprised Wisconsin is considered so safe, but that is just because I am watching the Apple River Stabbing Trial currently.
It really isn’t. Briggs has never lived in Wisconsin( I have…2004-2007). We were having car jacking in Wind Point, WI in 2006.
surprised minnesota is not on this list - it is awesome there
Want to visit Minnesota
Next to Wisconsin. Got alot of lakes.
I just moved to Mn I like it.
probs like top 15.
VT and NH are like the liberal/conservative yin/yang of New England. Biggest downside is lack of easy access to large cities for VT and southern NH is getting expensive and becoming more of a Boston commuter state.
Nebraska has 2 cities of consequence. Lincoln, population +-300,000 and Omaha, population +-450,000. They are about 50 miles apart and have a combined metro population of +-1,000,000 to 1,200,000. More people there than the rest of the state.
It's why for many decades it's been said it consists of 3 areas. Lincoln, Omaha and Who Cares.
?? Less crime, okay. Because many just take their own life in Nebraska for not seeing the sun for eight straight months!🤣
I'll definitely live in the "who cares" part because I don't like being surrounded by hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
@@keinlieb3818 Good. Go! Mars is an ideal place to be for people like you, hahaha!!😜🤣🤣
@@keinlieb3818 I, for one don't wish to be around "creeps!" Lmao!!🤣🤣
@@phineasp.quimby3162 yes, that's why I enjoy the middle of no where. Only have to worry about the wildlife.
Briggs, you gotta change that sound bite when counting down - that's a creepy sound. 🤔
Hey man! It’s like a doomsday tone.
Nice😊
I believe New Hampshire has a lot of lakes also? That's one state I would like living in if I ever live on the east coast.
Come on Briggs. If you're just going to talk over stock footage at least make the footage match what you're talking about. Talking about Virginia while showing drone footage of Virginia City Nevada is just lazy.
WA state is the most impressive from a jobs perspective and also from an outdoor enthusiast perspective
If you can afford it, but yeah I agree. I love the PNW.
Yep. Cloud computing capital of the known universe
GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT VIDEO, I THINK WASHINGTON WOULD BE MY PICK.🇺🇸🍺🍺
Iowa definitely had more than a few good small towns that I visited quite regularly outside of Des Moines: Spencer, Urbandale, Clinton, Boone, etc
Idaho has a bunch of healthcare deserts because of of OBGYNs leaving the state. People drive hours to have a baby. But sure 😊
That may be a positive.
Yeah, and try finding a OBGYN who is willing to do a VBAC!
@@user-bg2tn4kg5mWhat is positive about driving hours to have a baby? You must be a man.
