I will say that the inflection in the guy’s voice that’s narrating the video is very conscending and misleading about the stats of some of the lower ranked states. I’ve spent quite of bit of time visiting rural Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas and they are all fine. While they aren’t as ultra modern as some of the higher ranked states on the list, they aren’t a 3rd world country like he seems to think they are
I would like to add that just because a state has a lower income average doesn’t mean people are failing to survive. Most of the states in the Southeast or Midwest are cheaper than the West or Northeast
Well some states have to be at the bottom of the list. I don’t think he ever portrayed them as being akin to the third world, he just portrayed them as being the poorest in the US, which is true.
@@michaeltnk1135 His tone and the way he delivers the very limited amount of information with little to no context (which is just the nature of the video, I understand that) definitely does more than just portray them as being the poorest in the US, which is a fact I don't think anyone is disputing. He does it in a snarky way for entertainment value, sure, but people can and, in my opinion, should provide counter-context where appropriate as this commenter did, particularly on reaction videos where people are seeking more nuanced takes than the original video provides, which is little to none at all. Such is the way of the internet.
@@Reindurr417 I was thinking the same thing! If a state has an average income two times that of another state BUT prices are three times higher, then it's actually worse. Of course, he gets to rank the states by various issues that are important to HIM, but I really had to question his methods!
He seems to really dislike the South. I live in Michigan and it’s simply beautiful here. Only complaints I have, the winter can be pretty miserable and our state government is pretty damn corrupt. The UP is absolutely gorgeous and we have so many beautiful beaches all around the state. I would highly recommend visiting Grand Haven, Saugatuck, Ludington, Traverse City, Mackinaw City and the Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes and all the surrounding area. Honestly, just come to Michigan and visit all the cities around the coastline 😂
He obviously projects his own opinion on some states. NJ ranks in the top 5 of many of the important stats like income, education, healthcare, and safety, but he ranks it at #19 because he doesn't think it's as cool as the lower ranked NY.
Yes, I will admit that Ohio is pretty bad. It really does not have much going for it. I have lived in Dayton, OH since 1988, and I have come to the conclusion that Ohio is a black hole, when people come here they get stuck. The surrounding states are like the event horizon, it takes a bit of work, but you can get out. I thought I had broken free when I joined the army, but somehow it sucked me back in. When my father told my mother that he was going to retire from the air force back in '94, she said only one thing to him, "I never thought I would die in Ohio" (no one in my family is from here).
I live in Michigan and I’ve been to Ohio way too many times but the main cities like Cincy and Cleveland and Columbus and Toledo are all pretty nice but outside of that in the rural areas there’s nothing there
I'll put it to you like this...like everywhere else in the world no one place/state is 100% bad. They're going to be good and bad areas/locations throughout each state. Definitely do your own research before you travel / live anywhere. I think if this rating system was done now (in 2023) there would be a definite change in the states order. 🌎🌍🌏🙂
Video is very deceiving. Indiana is very flat once you get south of Fort Wayne. But southern Indiana is pretty with many hills and beauty. Northern Indiana is not completely flat. And the smog it shows is Gary Indiana. NW corner just outside of the Hammond/Chicago cities. The smog is not the issues throughout most of the state.
These list are subjective and very often used to promote the author's agenda. I have seen multiple lists supposedly comprised off the very same information and the states are not the same or at least not in the same order. Some say Chicago is the most dangerous, others say St. Louis, some say Memphis and others say either New Orleans or Los Angeles. What they don't mention are the people, the attitudes, the scenery, and the weather. Sorry. But while I love visiting other states, I'll never live outside the south. I love the food, the scenery, the people, the fact that I can drive to the beach, the mountains, the river, or a large city all in a day or under.
I will say, living in St. Charles County Missouri and having family fro the Chicago-land area Yes, Chicago has a lot of violent crime. However, it is mostly gang violence. As long as you stay away from east/west Garfield or a lot of the Southside, it’s actually not that bad. Although, I’m not a fan of how the city is run… but that’s a whole other conversation St. Louis, on the other hand, actually just sucks. I mean you go outside of the Busch Stadium/ Enterprise Center/ Arch areas and you’re by yourself, lets just say bad stuff can happen. STL also has a REALLY bad human trafficking problem. And has way more crime than Chicago. Ultimately I totally understand both sides. But just live in the suburb outside either of the cities and you’re golden. Seriously those suburbs are amazing But, then again… 🐻 ⬇️ and Go Cubs Go
The guy spends a full minute talking about each state until Kansas and then just shows driving down a highway in western Kansas. There's so much more to the state and probably ranks higher because of lower poverty, lower cost of living and decent wages.
I was born in Kentucky ,spent most of my childhood in Alabama and have now lived on a small island about 35 miles from Manhattan for over 50 years .I commuted to work in Manhattan for about 40 years ( over 3 hours every day ) .Sure , you can BUY just about everything want in New York except peace of mind ,honest government,and escape from too many people , IF you have lots of money .Like every other big city in the USA that has been run by democrat/socialist/communist crooked politicians for years , people are leaving here in droves to emigrate to states like Florida , Texas , Tennessee , Georgia , the Carolinas ,and Alabama because they are affordable and life is still possible there .For example ,my house in NY is worth about a million dollars and my property taxes on it are about $ 15,000 per year . In Alabama I can buy a house which is roughly equal for about $250,000 with property taxes of about $1,000 per year and can move around without fighting bumper to bumper traffic anywhere I go .Quality of life is a very subjective issue and the narrator of this video with his EXTREMELY annoying voice has very obviously been brainwashed by all the mass media hype and lies .
New England is bar far the best states.. Maine is gorgeous. Massachusetts is the most educated.. Boston Ma looks like a tiny old European city...New Hampshire is Gorgeous, and wicked safe.. Vermont is breathTakingly Gorgeous.. you need to see Martha's vineyard and Nantucket Islands Off of Massachusetts...BREATH TAKING
in america, the states where the population is majority white, are ranked highest. the states with all the blacks are lower. thats why number 50 is louisianna, and number 1 is new hampshire.
There isn’t a single state in the country that is majority black. Mississippi has the highest black population at 38%. A better correlation is taxes and education which go hand in hand in improving quality of life.
@@timmacsweet1 never said majority you big dummy. Blacks commit more crime idc what you feel or think the statistics back it up. Black communities are dangerous. Take it up with census bureau
@@exandious867 hey Fred Sanford you said states that are majority white are ranked the highest but every state is majority white. Think about that for a while Mr. Statistician.
@@timmacsweet1 not every state is majority white thats nonsense. bit what i said remains true, the states with all the blacks like louisinna. are way worse than a state with 90 percent plus white people.

OMG, for Illinois, the last segment they show is from my hometown of Champaign, home of the University of Illinois! Cool stuff!
Uploading straight bangers 💯👍 one after another
this dudes tone sounds harsh af, each state has its own charm to it and its own negatives but i feel like were just getting the negatives here lol
for the lower states on the list, he was kind about the higher ones
Working hard and getting those subs.
Unreal fall colors are the best in Connecticut, it has the longest leaf changing season with an explosion of colors
I lived in Middletown for 4 years and I wholeheartedly agree.

But there's way less black people. Black culture is violence stop simping for blacks
I think it’s weird he didn’t mention Chicago at all when talking about Illinois. There is a ridiculous amount of violence there.
Surprised he didn’t bring up the corruption in Chicago as well.
After all, the mantra there for many years was “Vote early and vote often.”
I guess I should be happy with Virginia at #11 but I dunno.. We missed out on top 10 because of Nebraska? Really?
He obviously projects his own opinion on some states. NJ ranks in the top 5 of many of the important stats like income, education, healthcare, and safety, but he ranks it at #19 because he doesn't think it's as cool as the lower ranked NY.

Let’s goooo New Hampshire
Having been over there, Oregon and Washington are your guy's sister area as far as the USA goes.
I agree. Similar climate and weather for sure.
Seattle also reminds me a lot of Brussels in those respects as well.
boston is by far the most eurpoean similar city in the us

Yep. Me too!!
Happy to live in #44 West Virginia
It’s funny he leaves out one particular stat 🤫
This narrator must be a Californian
Nope.
As a birder, I like Texas, but it is flat out ugly, with high humidity and mosquitoes in many areas, and heat mixed in for much of the year.

This guy's state facts are so outrageous and filled with so much misleading information, he needs to be arrested.
Some of these seem to be a bit out of whack to be honest
Florida is the best State in the Nation with the best Governor.
...no. Just no.
The guy that makes these videos is from California so his opinion of all southern states is never going to be accurate.
No he’s not.
The original video is pretty awful, ngl.
wsg
Three worst states California, new York, and Mississippi. Best States Georgia, Florida, and Texas. My opinion.
I'd say Mass and New Hampshire are the best. The worst is definitely Mississippi and maybe Louisiana and NM.
I'm from Wyoming. His, explnation is fairly accrate.

As a Pennsylvanian here I can say that 37 is way to low for pa we are top 15 easy
