- 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.

thousands cuz it doesnt have over 1 million views yet
@@ilillli2290 more precisely, 238,226 views.
As a north carolinian, I am satisfied with our ranking.
I live in Oklahoma and #45 is about right.
Watching this as a New Mexican, my emotions went from 😃 to 😶 in a single minute
New Mexico is honestly so cool
Same, I expected us to rank low, but not last :(
Actually never been to New Mexico how's it like there
Ahahahaha rip bro
Mexican
This is the most accurate and precise video I've seen... What a great in depth analysis on all the states... There are other videos out there too but they just explain their rankings in 1 or 2 sentences... I mean it's not enough... There was enough research put into this one and the narration as well as the editing was perfect. No unnecessary background noise nd music... Cudos to the team !!
So happy to see my state, Nebraska, actually made it into the top 10.
Your words regarding Omaha are very true. It's especially funny knowing that Lincoln is supposed to be our capital yet Omaha is larger and seems to be more advanced in a few areas at least. As I saw one person say online years ago, Lincoln's just a really big town while Omaha is an actual city.
Why is Nebraska in the top ten i would rather live in any other state
@@smuggywaffle817 Where all have you been in Nebraska? Honestly, I think the state's a pretty good place to live and would highly recommend Lincoln, Bellevue, and Papillion. Sure, it's not some super-busy metropolitan deal like New York or California, but Nebraska's really relaxing and I am grateful for that relaxation.
@@VeilanYume well yes its a good state for some, we have good education and good crime rates but there really is nothing to do.
Iowa is better then Nebraska
@@aidanernsperger4817 Iowa is all right. I still prefer Nebraska, but I'll take Iowa over many other states in the country any day of the week. The Midwest/Great Plains in general is honestly the best area of the country.
People from CO want CO to be ranked 50th so other people stop moving here.
Yeah we hate people here
Too bad I'll visit you
We definitely have a lot of people moving here but you should come visit! :D
@@thepotatoishpotato1676 I already visited three years ago now lemme buy a 4mill house that I'll only use for vacation

I like that 50th and 1st are neighbours 😂😂

Very helpful, thank you so much for the video.
Thank you, I learned a lot from your documentaries.
I live in a poorer country,so every us state looks amazing.
@匿名 Yea. I'm sure the worlds most powerful and most prosperous country "sucks" right. We may have issues, but I'd much rather deal with the issues here than elsewhere.
@@cameronweston8688 ''worlds most prosperous country'' USA is 18th in the legatum prosperity index so idk what your talking about. Western european countries are way more prosperous than the us.
@@camielkors7246 Screw an index. I'm using the word prosperous as in how much the US has changed daily life. Air conditioning? Done here, by Willis Carrier. Apple, one of the most iconic companies in the world? Done here by Steve Jobs and two others. Google, another one of the worlds most iconic companies? Done Here. Nike same. Pfizer, Amazon, Traffic lights as well. So many important things in our world that the US is responsible for. It isn't debatable that the US has had the greatest impact on the world. Not saying were perfect, but we don't suck either. The US is a much better place than people give it credit for.
american america
And remember if it takes a long time to get citizenship it because of the people who are crossing the us mex border illegally
Funny how the worst and best state literally next to each other
Funny how they’re in the south

Your dad sounds cool
How about Newark lol
Well I’m from Cali but I dint like talking about where people love pearls could get reallly mad from that
I’m A weenie Most of NJ does. H-1B invaded.
Well, camden is only 1 town
So basically, the worst states are those that surround Texas... and West Virginia.
Make one the best states with cheap housing and good schools like good suburban neighborhoods
Make one for worse states to live for natural disaster
The worst state is and always is Tennessee
You shirtless helps bump its ranking by at least 5 spots
Take me home country rooooaaaaddddssss
You think you can do another one for 2022 ?? Love your videos brother and thanks a lot for all the unboxing videos I love them 🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Useful stuff
“Nashville is booming and so is Memphis but those are gunshots.” As someone who lived in downtown Memphis I can confirm.
Ya also I live in Macon GA and the crime rate was high but it is not anymore
Memphis is just- nope.
Yes. Me too lol I lived in Nashville
Brodyn Wilson I live in Nashville
I’ve been to Nashville and can for sure say it’s far superior, Memphis is so bad even moving to just the suburbs is a major improvement.
As a Floridian, I am proud!
Well than your'e probably a Florida man!
Yes Florida is my favorite state. Beautiful weather and we’re able to go around walking unlike New York or something where your on lockdown or you can’t even sit inside
Florida rules!
Florida is the best state
I’m Mexican and I want to live in Florida :(
A very fair state ranking ! Thanks for the video from Michigan #14 !!
Good work! 👍😁
Massachusetts is ranked so high because half of them have college degrees, and they have good jobs, and have good diets, and always wear their seatbelts, and drink their milk everyday...
Confirmed!
@Anime Hitler Oops :/
yeah its true dont tell them our sercets tho
It’s the most liberal state too . They value healthcare and education so that’s why it’s so successful in those categories
I live in rural Western Massachusetts, I recommend. Cheap with less jobs here, more expensive with more jobs in Boston. A nice educated state
@@travelsofmunch1476 I live in rural Central Ma and it’s nice enough. We have too much good publicity and EVERYBODY is pouring into our area. It’s being ruined slowly. Boston once had around 900,000 people but now it’s more like 550,000
I went to Missouri in 2018, and i had NEVER heard more Amber alerts in my LIFE! It was scary
I live in Missouri, and the only amber alerts I hear are tests.
I've only seen 5 amber alerts,and I've lived in missouri awhile
Their never is anyone where I live in Missouri!
Living in St. Louis/Missouri it just kinda becomes background noise

What you said about Utah was accurate but I’m curious about now with all the people moving to Utah or visiting
I so enjoy this channel...no matter how quirky it is
As a New Mexican, your placement is accurate
as a romanian, your best export is breaking bad
@@nebundelegat1948 yea, pretty much
@@nebundelegat1948 breaking bad is s mythical and fictional portrayal of a social problem that many states have! Beautiful landscapes and great produce such as chile and apricots are real in New Mexico. This and the merging of cultural influence unlike any other place.
Fun fact: The border between New Mexico and Oklahoma is indented
I went through new mexico to go to colorado in december of 2020 and there was so much snow it was beautiful!!😍😍
People have been moving to Colorado so much the traffic is unbelievable now I’m a Colorado native and I’ve been seeing it evolve
Get ready for carbon emissions from cars
I live in Florida. I completely understand where you are coming from.
Alley Tanner that’s no where near Colorado 😭
as a houstonian i understand your predicament
@@carolinamorales98 Yes, we understand their predicament way too well.
I am from Maine. Heading back there very soon. Been in Oregon for 20 years and it has lost its luster. Thanks Nick!
Useful info for retirement planning.
Nevada be like:
Only sands and casinos allowed
@Felix Argyle PSA reference
It’s not just las vagas
there's more than sand and casinos and not just Neveda.
@@Nioki891 yea like mount Charleston, redrock, hot springs and lots of sunshine with no wildfires. Nevada will forever be my home.
Don't forget we have Tahoe, Great Basin National Park, Black Rock Desert, Ruby Mountains, and many natural hot springs. Its not all just Vegas.
I don't think Seattle is so bad it should drag the entire state's ranking so low. It blows, but there's so much more than Seattle.
Yeah i was suprised how low we were
Yeah, but Spokane also sucks
Washington should be #1 because im very biassed
I mean Seattle is much better than Detroit, but he dragged Washington down to 38th because of Seattle and all but ignored Detroit when placing Michigan at 14th. Ah well.
What's so bad about Seattle? Aside from the rain, I've heard mostly good things.
Yeah this is definitely the most opinion-based list I've ever seen
So what
There's no fact based state Rankings lol it's all opinion

@@Cal-nu8zw us news!
I have Been watching your videos . I’m a nurse trying to relocate within the year . They are so helpful. If I could love it I would !
damn straight. Everyone’s caught in the fairytale of cali or nyc but in reality they’re better off as vacation spots than permanent residences
i live in cali are ur wrong
@Soda King all of you people criticizing californian cities are hypocrites. every metropolitan city has a ghetto all the while having rich and prestigious areas. it’s not just LA that has a ghetto
Right
@@gonegonethankyou2091 ikr Cali is the best
@@xaplz2382 yeahh “best”
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
Most of the people who are moving out of California have a lower income. Not at the bottom but low enough to make it a struggle to live in California. Conversely most of the people who are moving in to California have a higher income. A significant percentage of them come from Texas.
@@Rhaspun the middle class is starting to disappear in California. That's how expensive it is.
High taxes are raping NY and Cali
CA would be a much better state if it wasn’t run by corrupt politicians who steal tax dollars from working citizens.
Even Texas is getting pricey now
I'm from Florida but have lived in both New Jersey and Connecticut and I can confirm the accuracy of everything you've said
I'm from Connecticut and can what ge said wasn't the most accurate honestly
Whats the background music bc it’s amazing
Baltimore really drags Maryland down. Annapolis Maryland is nice.
He literally used footage from Annapolis and didn’t mention it
I don't think Baltimore is all that bad.
Not really.
Frank loves baltimore.
At least Baltimore has the Ravens.
"You already watched all the ads so idc if you stop now" LOL
Hi Hitler Cartman.
Your pfp tho
15:44 bruh i was lowkey waiting for utah to come up the whole video lmao
I think California deserves a ton of credit for its economy and things like that, but seriously we need to not make everything so ungodly expensive. besides that, I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else. California is my home forever and always
"Ah hell no, we don't want anymore publicity" - Colorado
LOL
(Enters o hell no meme)
I've lived in Colorado for 64 years! Now there are lots of old people! Don't move here! Please?
Agreed
It's funny how Colorado is so underrated like no one ever talks about it but its easily one of the most popular states to move to
"You probably weren't waiting for Maine"
Me waiting the entire video for a description like the rest of the states but didnt get one. Bright side we were included this time
same dude. atleast mention the lobster!
I wasn’t expecting him to even mention anywhere in North Country because we are too “irrelevant”
I'm a Virginian who has been to Maine twice. It's truly underrated. It's a beautiful state with good people.
@@789Moonlight My Ex is From Maine. Its a really Pretty place and people are Nice to me( as a minority)
Facts man 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
It really is a shame that the bigger cities tear down the reputations of its entire state. I would truly love to see stats with the top 2 largest cities excluded. 💕
Agreed. I think Washington and Oregon would be much higher if Seattle and Portland weren’t so bad.
@@giovannigiorgio831 same with Illinois with Chicago
Delete L.A. and San Francisco from California's "bad press" and the picture looks much brighter.
NYC is the only reason New York isn't lower on the list
Agreed. These big cities should definitely start trying to do better in other categories rather than just tourism if they wanna represent their state.
It would be cool if you provided the sources or statistics which you used to determine the rankings. Otherwise a cool video!
It's all in my head
You need to do the best and worst capital cities in the US
yeah i can do that i guess.
Worst capital city is probably Trenton nj
Lansing, MI represents its state government.

I'm an Australian who's done a lot of travelling over the last 25 years and I reckon 3/4's of the Americans I've met whilst travelling have been from Colorado.

Why colorado is the greatest;
Because south park exists
and its a great show man
The town of Fairplay (Park County, Colorado) is the real South Park. But i looked all over for Hell's Pass Hospital and Tom's Rhinoplasty and didnt see them.
Couldn’t say it better man
Yup. I love that show so much.
And what else
Jessica Lifford good luck charlie takes place in Colorado
Reason for Nick Johnson not liking Washington: “I don’t like Seattle which automatically makes the whole state bad”.
That’s very SUS 🤔
One of the most expensive states to live and the weather is sh!t.

Never underestimate a cities' ability to make it's state look bad. *cough* newyorkillinois*cough*

"Population Density: (The lower the worse)"

Wyoming is even better for that.

@@robertrohde4579 I really love non densely populated areas and I can’t tell if you’re joking. Haha where is that?
Another Gem Nick
I do like the pun you made about Alaska though
I really like this list from last to first. Can you also make a list of state capital cities from worst to best in all categories?
The best part about our pretty coastline (Oregon) is that the entire coast is public property!! Unlike WA or CA where they are private and owned by specific people, you can just go anywhere and enjoy the beautiful landscape
Tell that to ocean shores 😑 Washington and Oregon are basically a lot like each other and why would our coastline be owned by specific people?
@@cheezypotatoe9994 Washington and Oregon are essentially the same state
California however is a different story
@@benjaminmaughan2957 except Washington has twice the population of Oregon cause of Seattle
That coastline is so beautiful too!
As a Michigander, I agree on 14th place. Our nature is beautiful and the Great Lakes make it look even better but all of the Flint and Detroit stuff really drags the state down.
I work in flint and live about 15 mins away, I swear it gets worse every single day
If you don't like it move to another place. Don't complain just do something and move.
@@steelrain79 I love it here. What do you mean? And even if I wanted to move, I can’t just get up and go anyways
heyyy i live in michigan

Come on Ohio obviously isn’t a top State but we’re definitely better than like 10 other States we are behind
I surely agree with u
Don’t lie to yourself
Not Georgia
kingj_NBA true
Alexis H wdym don’t lie to yourself Ohio is a good State and on most lists is in the 30s but Nick hates Ohio for some reason so he puts them low
Boston is most similar to Melbourne Australia so I could see myself living in Massachusetts. Looks nice enough. It seems alot more affordable as well. About 25% cheaper.
It gets my tick.
I, I have never seen someone call Massachusetts affordable. It is not, especially compared to other states
Ayy I live in Melbourne now
no you get ticks
I don’t recommend it. Crime is rampant and it’s weird because costs are basically higher than NYC. The city has shrunk from 900,000 people to 550,000.
Ayy melbourne gang
🤣🤣love the ads and the song in the end
As a Texan, I’m actually proud of our ranking, and agree with everything you said lol
There are two different parts to Michigan
The bad parts and the worst parts
There are three: the bad parts, the worst parts and detroit
I live in Michigan. It's not too bad in my opioion outside of Detriot and Flint.
@@sundinfamforlife4129 I love parts of Michigan
Ludwig Humboldt I’ve visited a few times during the summer. It’s like one of the only nice places in Michigan.
Northern Michigan should succeed from Michigan and rename themselves Superior.
Damn, doing all these statistics is soooo hard. Appreciate hard work
no prob :)
As a Pennsylvanian I think you should rate the safety or the gpa because I have seen so much other list and they have Pennsylvania in the top 10
Honestly I kind of agree with this ranking. We have so many nice areas but they’re overshadowed by terrible ones
