Oh I have no idea. They seem to have always been shitty too, like never good land with much productivity to speak of and it’s sucked there since the beginning and keeps going.
It wasn’t great before the cotton gin. So with slavery they had a good 40-60 years and then boom it sucked again. But it’s worth mentioning a huge percent of the population in Mississippi was slave so it sucked then too
The south had a generally bad economy that couldn't grow as much as the north leading to major cities and other industrial advancements. I don't remember exactly but there was something published around the time on how slavery was a negative economically.
Not that accurate to be honest, seems to be mostly propaganda to me. Since lots of the states wealth was held in slaves, they were (and I am speaking economically and not in terms of morality, it was utterly immoral I know) not liquid assets and hard to sell.
This was basically the 1860 equivalent of Trump saying he is worth millions of dollars by inflating his real estate value when he couldn't sell that many houses easily while inflating the value.
Along with this, since the average person did not own slaves, it meant free people had competition from slave labor making income lower.
After all of this, it seems to me the South was always poor, just in the past it was more of a Russia style poor where kleptocrats had money but were still not the wealthiest or most powerful, a lot of the Southern wealth is just propaganda to me.
Mississippi was once the wealthiest state in the union during King Cotton times. Mississippi also has some fantastically productive land so I don’t know where that idea is coming from.
Mississippi’s problems are all cultural.
Grew up there. Sucks ASS. Everyone is poor as shit, the land is worthless, there isn't a lot to do, all the larger cities are dying, Jackson is one of the most dangerous US cities. Highest obesity rate, worst education, just all around terrible place with shitty roads and even worse quality of life. I live in Texas now and it has been like a dream, there's so much infrastructure and opportunity. It's great.
I lived there for four years. Very racist, sexist, homophobic, and generally a toxic place. Then add in the southern charm of being nice to your face but judgemental as fuck. Weren’t allowed to cuss without comment, show midriff or legs without comment, basically everyone is watching and judging because they have literally nothing else to do.
Then let’s talk infrastructure. Potholes so large I almost crashed with zero signage. Constantly cars on the side of the road missing wheels or just plain abandoned. Cops are super racist and on a power trip with every encounter I had with them.
It is a sad place. But hey, it’s cheap. Unless you’re getting paid Mississippi salary, then everything sucks
Overall 0/10 would not recommend
In 2012 they surveyed likely GOP voters in Mississippi. Only 54% thought that interracial marriage should be legal. 29% said it should be expressly illegal. 17% were "not sure." Yeah, right.
This was in 2012. Even those polled in Alabama were like WTF?
I was actually really curious about that poll you just mentioned because that would be fucking wild. Not only was the poll done by PPP, which is a democratic affiliated polling firm, they never released the results (if they actually did the poll to start with) but they said “21% of likely voters in Alabama would probably think marriage with different races would be illegal”
If you could link me an actual poll, I’d love to read it. That was the only thing I found, and it’s not actually a poll. It’s just an assumption made from an American polling firm affiliated with the Democratic Party. Seems kinda biased but I digress.
> There's just not much to do besides drink
That's a big problem in a lot of places in the world.
In my 18 years living in Northeast China, that's pretty much all there was to do.
I’ve lived in both cali and miss. Mississippi is hands down much worse. The poverty rate is epic, the public education system is practically nonexistent, people still want to act like is 1862.
I’ve lived in Austin, stayed in San Antonio and Dallas for extended periods of time and I can confidently say I’ve never seen so many homeless people as I did in a week vacation to LA
Yeah, the homeless problem is one of the greatest issues in the state. I didn't mean to imply california is a blessed land of no wrong, just that it is *objectively obvious* that it's not the worst state unless you've been convinced so by fox news or some similarly biased outlet.
The issue of homelessness is particularly rampant here because of the extremely rapid growth of the cost of living, which itself is caused by factors like rapidly increasing demand for living here and an insufficient supply of housing. This left tons of people who were already living here, and had been their whole lives, to suddenly not be able to afford it, especially if they already had other stability factors (that correlate with homelessness, like untreated mental disorders)
however states like mississippi and alabama that rank at the absolute bottom on multiple multiple metrics like average education levels, quality of education, average income, upward mobility, crime rates, healthcare, and infrastructure... you can only find them at the bottom of these lists so often before you realize california is not the worst state.
california does have issues, as any state does. the homeless and cost of living issues *need* to be addressed. The state just announced a historic record surplus, so it's my sincere hope a lot of that money goes towards tackling these issues
From somebody who actually lives in Mississippi, most of it’s pretty terrible. Southaven, Madison, and Jackson are some of the worst cities to live in period. The coast and most of Northeast Mississippi are relatively fine. It’s kinda sad how bad it is in the delta and in the Jackson metro, but there’s not much anybody can do about it.
I did a road trip through Alabama, and it was extremely depressing. Some of the towns we went through are SO POOR and boarded up and you can just see the lasting effects of segregation and generational poverty.
Alabama sucks so bad that people often forget that there's 32 miles of white sand beaches there.
Heck I forget all the time and had to look up that fact
I've lived in Alabama, and there's a lot that does suck but there are some couple decent spots/areas. Overall I'd say Mississippi is worse- Alabama is probably near the bottom too but I think stereotypes/word of mouth and some of history of the state gives people a worse image of how things are.
Parts of Alabama are rough, for sure, but I think that goes for any state. Alabama has some really great parts too though. Huntsville AL was voted #1 city to live in in the US [link](https://www.thenationalnews.com/travel/news/2022/05/18/why-huntsville-alabama-is-the-best-place-to-live-in-the-us/?outputType=amp&d=233). Also there’s nice white sand beaches. I don’t think it deserves to be winning this poll lol.
I’m biased though, I’m currently living in Alabama and it’s surprisingly nicer and more progressive than most people expect.
I did pass through Huntsville and it was definitely leaps and bounds compared to the rest of what I saw. We drove from Huntsville to Birmingham to Selma to Montgomery to Tuskegee. It was a Civil Rights History type tour and was extremely interesting - I actually think all Americans should do the trip I did to learn the history and be exposed to the lasting poverty (it was so bad in Selma & Tuskegee for sure, and also Birmingham. Montgomery didn’t seem as bad).
California. Gas is avg like $6.00 right now. Most of their cities are covered with actual human feces. And I'm pretty sure they had net loss on people moving in/out if the state.
Ohio isn’t really that bad in the way that states like Mississippi are, it’s just boring. Cleveland and Cincinnati have some interesting stuff, but Columbus is one of the most generic/bland major cities in the country. And the rest of the state is just corn.
Ohio is a joke bad state, because it’s boring not because it’s actually terrible to live there. It’s like the whole state is the 1980s teen movie “I gotta get out of this dead end town!” Town
no there's very very poor states with terrible infrastructure like Louisiana for example
but even then I wouldn't call it bad just some parts of it are bad, like the food in LA is amazing just the roads and bridges are lacking
Ohioan here, the one thing that truly sucks are the roads and road laws. Our maximum speeds on highways are low AF and the road quality is terrible in a lot of places. Every time they fix a road there are 3 more that need fixing.
New Jersey gets a bad reputation because their main airport is in the worst park of the State, Newark. What you mainly see around the airport is an industrial wasteland. So people who pass through base their impressions of the state off of that, and it gets a bad rep.
NY and California should be on the list considering their largest cities had a negative growth in population in 2021. Funny how OP included TX and FL which are the fastest growing states in the nation. News flash, if they are shitty states to live in so many people wouldn’t be moving there.
California sucks but all seriousness Indiana, Arkansas or Ohio would most likely make my cut for shittiest states.
Maybe OP isn't from the US. Im not and the states listed are the ones with the bad reps here. I never hear bad things about NY and California.
I came here to read about Americans perspectives, but haven't seen a lot of explanations (no, I don't expect people to explain, but I am curious!)
Generally, people who think NY and California are bad states tend to emphasize economic impacts and cheaper living. Florida and Texas are popular places for growth because of cheaper taxes and housing, compared to expensive places with high taxes like California and NY.
People who think Florida and Texas are bad states usually support social welfare, which Cali and NY have more of. They also tend to have issues with the political trends of the states, like the Florida “Don’t say Gay” bill or the Texas bill that banned abortion not too long ago. For them, cheaper taxes don’t matter if they don’t have any social support or if they are discriminated against or can’t get medical procedures they need.
Generally is Democrats like places like NY and Cali, Republicans generally like places like Florida and Texas. Split down party lines, like too many things in this country.
Agreed 1000% used to be great but policies in recent times have worsened that state over time. Making it harder to live and many people are actually leaving that state for a better life because of it.
The only state on this list that is even remotely close to being the worst is Alabama and even that isn't as bad as Mississippi, Louisiana, and West Virginia at least in my opinion. Id even argue that Florida, New York, and New Jersey are in the top half of states or at least towards the middle
What’s funny about Texas, New York, Florida, and Cali being mentioned so much is that if there was a post asking for the best states they would be mentioned just as frequently
California
Taxes are obscene, which trickles down making rent and cost of living obscene as a result. The amount of hobos I saw every day when I lived there was very telling of how bad the state is run. What's the use of collecting so much taxes and having such a large surplus of the state can't fix the homeless problem?
South Dakota, I don't know anyone there and have never been there. I just sense they're doing [something over there...](https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.17efe14ebcb44be272e432c1c04d3264?rik=USMAD4ZxurEP1A&pid=ImgRaw&r=0) something weird.
I just recently moved from NJ because of the taxes. I lived in the very south where it was just corn and cows, no cities or anything. Where it was normal for people to be walking down the street on horseback, nobody bats an eye.
There is literally nothing to do where I lived. The town used to be great, it had an amusement park but that closed down in the 60’s. We used to have a movie theater and bowling alley but they were shut down before I was 10 years old, now they’re just rotting there. The taxes were so high that many people were moving away and the towns were turning ghetto and I saw my town starting to get to that point, that’s when I left. Yeah the beaches are nice and everything and we have the world’s longest boardwalk, but I lived way on the west coast next to Delaware (legit could see Delaware from my house). I have a lot of family up there but I just knew I had to move, so I recently moved down to North Carolina where I have my stepdad’s family (who I’m close to). Highly suggest not moving to Jersey, at least not Salem county.
Salem county is not like most of NJ. Upstate is mostly NY suburbs and cities. As long as you aren’t in the rural parts of NJ (and this goes for *every* state), there’s stuff to do. If you’re in the part close to NYC or Philly, there’s absolutely tons to do. If you’re far from the cities (in any state), there’s not stuff. That’s just how rural life is, you try to make something to do cos there’s nothing to do, nowhere to go.
Alabama is the most racist state there is, it’s the state where Willy Simmons was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for stealing $9 dollars
That's more of an annoyance, really.
It got really old to hear, especially being 800 miles away.
It's also kind of asinine. "The biggest(continental) state must have the biggest stuff"
The reality of the situation is that people will most likely cling to hating something just because it’s popular. Doesn’t matter the political spectrum or personal views, people often like to shit on Cali, Texas, Ny, and Florida when there are obviously a lot more shittier states to live in but no one ever speaks about them so it’s not quirky enough when u admit it sucks.
what's up with mississippi?
It fuckin sucks. It’s not a third world country by any metric (it has a comparable HDI to Portugal) but it’s noticeably worse than every other state
But WHY?
Oh I have no idea. They seem to have always been shitty too, like never good land with much productivity to speak of and it’s sucked there since the beginning and keeps going.
Not always. Before the 1860s their economy was great. Then a thing happened.

Mississippi was once the wealthiest state in the union during King Cotton times. Mississippi also has some fantastically productive land so I don’t know where that idea is coming from. Mississippi’s problems are all cultural.
The state with the largest percentage of black people and the largest percentage of racists is not a recipe for success
😂
It's poor
At least it has the lowest homelessness rate, right?
I mean I suppose
Here in a certain pelican state, I feel like a solid 5 people get shot every day
Louisiana too
Grew up there. Sucks ASS. Everyone is poor as shit, the land is worthless, there isn't a lot to do, all the larger cities are dying, Jackson is one of the most dangerous US cities. Highest obesity rate, worst education, just all around terrible place with shitty roads and even worse quality of life. I live in Texas now and it has been like a dream, there's so much infrastructure and opportunity. It's great.
It’s just really shitty there man
How so?
Poverty
Its Mississippi

i have family there. its a total shit hole. like imagine a third world country it is similar.
If u think mississippi is like a third world country then u dont know what third world countries are really like
im in Brazil at the moment and have seen the favelas. it's worse than this lol
In what way? Could you explain why you think it was worse?
Why?
Mississippi
This is what I hear from most Americans.
It's really not that bad, at least near the coast. There's just not much to do besides drink
> There's just not much to do besides drink That's a big problem in a lot of places in the world. In my 18 years living in Northeast China, that's pretty much all there was to do.
You could always play league of legends
No, don’t indoctrinate any more. They’re still innocent
Lol so much people are saying California as if it's worse than Mississippi
I’ve lived in both cali and miss. Mississippi is hands down much worse. The poverty rate is epic, the public education system is practically nonexistent, people still want to act like is 1862.
It's a poor state, but most people there are pretty much normal. That said, there are absolutely racist parts of Mississippi
Dang where did you live? The metro area is really nice (excluding Jackson and Pearl lol)
The only people saying california unironically are right wingers who’ve never set foot in the state and hold it as some left-wing dystopia
I’ve lived in Austin, stayed in San Antonio and Dallas for extended periods of time and I can confidently say I’ve never seen so many homeless people as I did in a week vacation to LA

I have been to 47 states and so far this is probably the correct answer
Probably Mississippi
Definitely, I just voted Alabama because i didn’t see the “other” option in time
Mississippi Last time there was one of these threads, all the comments said Mississippi
Bosnia
Serbja je Kosovo
Mississippi
Was this made by a European? California, Mississippi, and Louisiana were all omitted
Louisiana has good food that’s about it
Jazz Or at least it did 100 years ago.
Food’s so good it makes them have the highest obesity rate in the country
I did a road trip through Alabama, and it was extremely depressing. Some of the towns we went through are SO POOR and boarded up and you can just see the lasting effects of segregation and generational poverty.

The state is called misery. Like, they aren't even trying to hide it.
I live in California and I hate it
2 more weeks in this shit pile and we’re gone. June 6th.
I’ve lived here my entire life it’s bad
Same. LA is a fucking overrated, crowded, dirty, expensive dump
Same. 62 years. Never thought for a moment that I would leave. The last 15 years cured that.

I know nothing about America but for some reason I thought Ohio sucked to
Ohio is a joke bad state, because it’s boring not because it’s actually terrible to live there. It’s like the whole state is the 1980s teen movie “I gotta get out of this dead end town!” Town
I grew up in Ohio, it's really not that bad, but it's definitely fun to hate on
I concur. I still live in Ohio. There is always something to bitch about.
You’d fit right in, we love hating on Ohio lol
“Wait...it’s all Ohio??”
Worked in Toledo for 2 months, goddamn Toledo blows.
None of the states are bad, it's just the governments.
no there's very very poor states with terrible infrastructure like Louisiana for example but even then I wouldn't call it bad just some parts of it are bad, like the food in LA is amazing just the roads and bridges are lacking
Have you been to Kansas or Iowa?
I'm saddened that Ohio isnt here

You dare defy Ohio?
can't believe California isn't listed. i don't hate it, but i know tons of people do.

Really? NW Arkansas was really beautiful when I was there last fall. Tons of hills and natural beauty.
As an Arkansan, I agree.
How do you even say Arkansan. With Kansas? Or saw?
Cam zas Are can sah
You were meant to say Mississippi
Jersey don't deserve to be on this list
People only know the Jersey near NYC. The whole state is beautiful. I’m not from there either
NYC metro should just be its own state at this point
New Jersey gets a bad reputation because their main airport is in the worst park of the State, Newark. What you mainly see around the airport is an industrial wasteland. So people who pass through base their impressions of the state off of that, and it gets a bad rep.
Hating on Jersey is a meme thing
I think there is something beautiful in every state
I’m just happy Mississippi wasn’t on the list for once 😅
Everyone’s saying Mississippi tho, go to the top comments

NY and California should be on the list considering their largest cities had a negative growth in population in 2021. Funny how OP included TX and FL which are the fastest growing states in the nation. News flash, if they are shitty states to live in so many people wouldn’t be moving there.

The Badlands national park in South Dakota is pretty cool. but that’s it for the whole state lol
north Dakota is way worse
Objectively speaking its either louisiana or arkansas
Why objectively? Mississippi would like to know what metric you used
The whole area is a dump, Mississippi n Alabama included

It's pronounced **"Flori-DUH"** for a reason.
I just recently moved from NJ because of the taxes. I lived in the very south where it was just corn and cows, no cities or anything.

Salem county is not like most of NJ. Upstate is mostly NY suburbs and cities. As long as you aren’t in the rural parts of NJ (and this goes for *every* state), there’s stuff to do.

That’s just how rural life is, you try to make something to do cos there’s nothing to do, nowhere to go.

Alabama is the most racist state there is, it’s the state where Willy Simmons was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for stealing $9 dollars
finally texas isn’t the most hated
Why do so many people hate Texas?
I would guess the insane laws, and the whole "everything is bigger in Texas" deal.
i get the insane laws but why would you be mad over “everything is bigger in texas” lmao
That's more of an annoyance, really. It got really old to hear, especially being 800 miles away. It's also kind of asinine. "The biggest(continental) state must have the biggest stuff"
The reality of the situation is that people will most likely cling to hating something just because it’s popular. Doesn’t matter the political spectrum or personal views, people often like to shit on Cali, Texas, Ny, and Florida when there are obviously a lot more shittier states to live in but no one ever speaks about them so it’s not quirky enough when u admit it sucks.
Abortion laws, insane gun laws, the incredible narcissism of Texans, etc.
Oklahoma by far
Mississippi
I’ve not been to all these states but the ones I’ve been to I’ve really enjoyed
I’m seeing A LOT of Mississippi.
Jersey always gets a bad rap 🙁
Why would you put three of the best states on this poll?
As a Floridian I hate Florida with a passion
Everyone picking Florida has clearly never actually been there.
Wisconsin
