I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in due to traditionalism, or are more progressive states bound to grow worse?
Have the Midwest states been mentioned? Bill Bryson describes them as interminably dull. Not sure how they’d stack up against the deep south, though.
Dull vs Dangerous
The Midwest states are essentially the top of the bell curve when it comes to quality of life stats. Maybe life isn’t as flashy as the coasts, but there isnt the absolutely ramoant poverty like you find in Appalachia or the deep South.
There’s a lot of corn, but there’s also a lot of good universities, and lots of beer. Not many mountains, but tons of forest and water.
