Today we are ranking ALL 50 US states from the worst states to the best states. Everyone has their favorite state and a state they aren't too keen on.
We did this video about 3 years ago and thought it was time for an update.
So, let's Rank EVERY State in the United States from WORST to BEST!

In order to determine how States are ranked, we look at a few categories including their economy, cost of living, crime rates, healthcare, schools, and overall reputation.

The United States of America is today's subject.

    so we just gonna ignore the fact that this man ranked Maine third best state in 2019 and now its at 26? like did Maine got hit by an asteroid or what? wtf happened?
  • NY: “They got jobs, they got good people” The only time New York has been peaceful for 1 day was in 2012.

    I've lived in several states now, and their rankings are honestly not surprising. I lived the longest time in New Mexico, but I'm living in Utah currently. The differences are absolutely shocking. Let's just say I'm starting my own family in Utah for many reasons, even though some of my family and friends are still in New Mexico...
  • @michiganabigail
    You know, I've lived in Michigan (#42) and Utah (#2), and they're not that different. My point is that if you're moving to anywhere in the US, it's not like a third-world country in one state and first-world in another state. The differences are slighter than people like to pretend.
  • @dorian3848
    For the next time you "update" a list, it would be cool to see the rank changes. Not only show the new rank but also the old one. That would also allow viewers to see which states are improving a lot
  • @CrazyCatMom11
    As a Missourian who now lives in Illinois, I concur with your assessment of both states.
  • @Maclyn88
    I'm so sorry you're going through this 😔 I love your videos, they have been so insightful, and have helped me understand everything thst goes into some people's appearance and you always do it with the upmost respect 🥰 You're such a doll, and I love how you bring things to light when celebrities attempt to live in denial.
  • As someone who was born and raised in WA, I’m surprised it’s #1, it’s nice here but it isn’t that far off from being ridiculously expensive like California. It’s definitely a challenge for the younger adults to get something established on their own here. Also crime has been on the rise in certain areas. Not a bad list though.
  • From Washington, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it topped the list! I love it’s temperate climate and beautiful nature!
  • Really glad to hear lots of jobs are being more applied in Ohio. I just moved there recently for a fresh start in life, convenience and more opportunity and I love it here. Originally I was gonna move to Virginia, but there's almost no opportunity there for someone like me and they're alot more expensive- doesn't mean I didn't like it there, I love Virginia, but Ohio just seems to be the best fit for me, especially in Sandusky where you have so many things close to you if you don't drive as well as giving more like an old town vibe rather than a city.
  • Listening to this in early 2022, as a lifelong washingtonian, I greatly value the statistics and reports on your channel. That being said, the only other states I could ever imagine moving to thanks to your channel are maine, but also Montana or idaho. As someone who absolutely adores the chilliness and the temperamental but beautiful change in seasons, the Pacific northwest, even the lesser known treasure of Eastern Washington certainly have more than their market share of natural beauty combined with decent infrastructure, good history, and a generally friendly and welcoming population! I've been to many other states but I've never found one that is truly as all around satisfying as Washington. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful work, it is much appreciated!
  • @ericblankenburg
    I moved out of Washington State four years ago because Seattle has become overrun with lunatics on the city council and vagrants on the streets. The housing prices have become outrageous too. The oppressive clouds and constant rain are depressing as well.
  • @frankb821
    Great video with a lot of great points! I would only argue that nobody is moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana. That place sux hard.

  • @thesilentowl
    Enjoyed this one quite a bit. In numerous videos you talk about how one or two cities can pull a whole state down. Would you please do a video about how, in the same state, two cities can be at opposite ends of the suckage scale? In this one you mentioned Grand Rapids and Detroit, but I am sure there are plenty others.
  • @Felipe01079
    As someone who’s lived in Utah for many years, I agree with the ranking. Opportunities are abundant, education is great, cost of living is going up but still better than other places, especially if you live outside of the Salt Lake valley it’s not too bad and if you’re an outdoorsy person there’s lots to do here. I’ve also lived in California and I also agree with the comment about it being the best and also the worst state to live in.
  • I’m glad my buddy from Louisiana didn’t see this. But speaking as a former Pittsburgher, I think you should have done a nighttime drone fly over the city while you were talking about Pennsylvania. It is ranked the 2nd most beautiful view in the US
