If you enjoy driving on bad roads, then head over to South Carolina where the roads are the worst in America. Then there is the education system which is placed near the bottom of the ranking list for quality. It’s not an ideal state in which to raise a family either due to the low household income in which it’s hard to meet basic needs.
Georgia

If you want to earn a living, avoid moving to Georgia. It is stuck in a rut of paying around minimum wage. The number of homeless is growing here. Tropical storms can cause havoc for the state and there are issues with traffic congestion. Want to use public transport? You may be out of luck depending on which part of Georgia you live in.
Alaska

A state that has a high crime rate. The number of rapes is also near the top of the list in comparison to other parts of America. Alcohol consumption is rampant in many areas. The geography of Alaska makes it hard for healthcare and other emergency services to reach those in need.

With people pushing for more inclusion in society, Tennessee is well behind with discrimination against the LGBTQ community. Less than half the population exercises. A quarter of Tennesseeans have a university degree. Another downside to living in this part of America is that it has the third-highest crime rate in the nation.
Arizona

If you having breathing issues, then avoid Arizona as the air quality is bad. The healthcare infrastructure is underresourced. Like most other states on this list, crime is a big concern with Arizona making its way to the bottom of the personal safety rankings.
Texas

Each state has its pluses and minuses. Just because one place may suck now doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a chance to become one of the best places to live in America. It all comes down to the new policies and local governments focusing on fixing their local problems.
