The 10 WORST STATES to Live in America for 2026
Video Overview & Insights
Discover the worst states to live in America, a critical guide for anyone considering moving to another state or analyzing US cost of living. While the US offers vast opportunities, certain regions face severe economic stagnation, rising crime rates, and deteriorating quality of life. This breakdown ranks the top 10 states struggling with high poverty, failing infrastructure, and widespread substance abuse, shedding light on why places like Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, and Michigan are increasingly appearing on the worst places to live lists.
Don't blame all on the people that run these states but blame the voters themselves too.. You just can't fix stupidity.
From the extreme tornado alley weather in Oklahoma to the staggering violent crime in New Mexico, citizens are paying the price through astronomical homeowners insurance rates and high local sales tax. Southern states like Arkansas, Alabama, and Mississippi rank dead last in public education quality and rural healthcare access, turning affordable housing into a financial trap. Meanwhile, the stunning landscapes of West Virginia and Alaska mask a harsh reality of economic divide, seasonal depression, and high cost of basic commodities. Finally, Louisiana takes the top spot due to devastating hurricanes, tax burdens, and a staggering homicide rate. Watch this comprehensive US states ranking to uncover the highest crime cities and the poorest states in America before planning your next move.

Even with a bath curtain, how is a person supposed to stand with the handheld shower hose and head? The tile is only 2 runs high. 10:13 the same is true of the other smaller room. Other than a few things like the garage and the sloped ceilings upstairs, the home is very nice. I happen to like the liberal use of hardscape because it’s such a large lot to maintain, but I can understand how many people wouldn’t. I’d say it’s definitely worth the cost, but you’d need another 150k to do some updates.
One not-so-small criticism. Those vinyl windows do not look quality at all. The paned windows are not done well. The simulated vinyl muntins between the 2 glass panes kind of overlap one another and the intersections where they cross. Strange and really fake looking, from inside and outside.
Plenty of room to get out of your car?😮 5:32
@pacmanc8103Unfortunately, there is a correlation to most of these states with a high Black percentage.
@SeminoleSargeStates themselves are diversified. People in cities and people in rural areas have different priorities. I was a northener who retired in Alabama. Conditions vary from city to city. And cities are usually very good or very bad. Things were much better than I anticipated.
@transplant-f3pOklahoma is a redneck state north texas is an extension of redne k okie homa!🦧
@frankcorrea8691Everywhere has its good and bad. But for awesome scenery West Virginia is Gorgeous.
@jamesu3346Jobs in Florida are low paying BS.
@MightySwordfishThey talk about bad healthcare in Alabama. I think there is bad healthcare in every state. I laughed at this because this is the United States but every state is separate with taxes and healthcare why????? Should all the states be the same if we’re United???
@grandpaDude1Oklahoma is not as bad as this guy makes it to be . Half the problems he mentioned are no longer a problem because they been fixed .
@charleswillams9501By the way ,it’s the golf of America not Mexico 😮
@brosisparty4194ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!
@stormysamuel4666Was gonna say, some states tax like a blue state (complicated, charge for everything) while offering services like a red state (no services). Worst of both worlds.
@laulaja-7186Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Nebraska.....
@AlaskanGeezerYou are utterly clueless. Blocking your content.
@CraigConklin-q3bHow is it California is not on this list
@markhandel5928I agreed 💯 what he say about alabama
@TamekaGreen-g7gThis should be sent to Fox News and the MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE
@RichardineThomas-ns9mgYou rated New Mexico as one of the worst on this list, although there are problems in all ! Your rating of this
state as one of the worst, I take issue with you not only hurt our interstate commerce through tourism, your words are filled with falsehood.. you can be leaving yourself to litigation for dessiminatiing false propaganda ! This for Ticket bogus post. If you've never been here than why would you lie about a place?
Yep… Pennsylvania sucks. I live here I know.
I miss Arizona really bad. The weather is probably the worst part.
Apparently, you think that the only place in PA is Philadelphia.
@jodiuhron1979It’s the Gulf of America not the Gulf of Mexico get it right
@dustbeagle3Could you PLEASE add Oregon to your list of Worst States? PLEASE!.? They should be on this list. And for good reason! Believe it or Not? Oregon IS THE REAL WORST. It is a Sin that is not talked about enough. And it should be & they should be on this list. And if I was doing the list of Worst States! I DEFINITELY would have Oregon on there. And they’d Top the List Permanently. There is WAY MORE THAN PLENTY of Poverty & Homelessness & Depression in Oregon too. And they will not help the good people suffering. They don’t care!
@k7j6Why are you keying on weather so much???
@TheUnatuberI am so poor I don’t have bank account even I work 80 hour labor job I am used to it I don’t want to switch it
