The same states are always at the bottom, and they have a few things in common. If your state is 48 or 49, you don't really have much room for gloating anyway.

US News and World News has ranked all of the states.
Louisiana comes in at #50.


That is what the report says, you should be know that Mississippi comes in at #48

I would not be bragging about coming in 2nd to the worst, not considering Alaska being #49

The bottom five states in the U.S. News & World Report ranking were:

Louisiana
Alaska
Mississippi
New Mexico
Michigan
Louisiana was not only last overall, but also last for “crime and corrections.” It ranked second-to-last for economy and natural environment, as well.

Mississippi ranked last for health care and New Mexico was worst for education.

Leave me the keys. I'll try it out for a month or so next Spring and let you know.

Outside of baton rouge, Louisiana is a cool place to travel to...different world, different people, amazing food and culture. Lay off.

I've always found the people in Louisiana, especially around Lafayette, to be some of the most kind, generous and gracious people anywhere in this country.


I have always enjoyed visiting the Lafayette area.

Boycott buying products that are produced by the hundreds of refineries here and imports that come thru our ports.

Stay your tail in good ole Mississippi boi

Take NW Arkansas and a couple of productive towns out of the equation and I shudder to think of where Arkansas would be ranked.

I love my state, but man do we have some issues.

Southwest Arkansas is still nice, it just doesn't have much opportunities for employment.

Take Southeast Arkansas out and Arkansas jumps 10 spots in the rankings.

That part of the state makes the average poor Arkansans look wealthy.

Demographics. Collectively Louisiana is absolute shite. Much like MS. But if you can make your own personal situation away from the unwashed masses it can be a great place to be.

I lived in several parts of MS and then moved back to LA

Take the Ms Delta out and we would probably fall in the middle somewhere. Not sure of a state I would live in. I'm sure I could be happy most anywhere but I'm fine right here (but I live in a city/town that's probably upper middle class).

While I don't doubt either Dakota or Nebraska being on there ...I highly doubt Minnesota is a great place to live.

Arkansas is a state of extremes. You have the very wealthy of Northwest Arkansas to the extreme poverty of Southeast Arkansas.

None of them truly represent the average Arkansan that are working class with blue collar jobs. They work and make a decent living but the group in extreme poverty don't work and live off the taxpayer dime.
