  • Which states are terrible and which ones would you want to move to?
    I used measuring sticks to determine an actual ranking from 50 to 1 for each and every state in America.
    We'll talk about cost of living, crime, jobs, nature and local economies.

    What someone considers the "best" state is relative to their income level. For example, California or New York are easily the best states if you have money. If you're a middle income family then Texas or North Carolina are the best states because they have strong economies with affordable housing. If you're poor, no state is really the best
