- Ranking EVERY State and Territory in the United States of America from WORST to BEST!
We Ranked All 50 States & 5 Territories to live in the USA so you know where to move to and live! Find out which states or territories have the best cities & small towns to live in for 2024!
➽ Join our OFFICIAL Discord Server!: / discord
The United States of America is a very LARGE and DIVERSE country, with hundreds of different types of cultures, cities, and natural scenery. So in order to determine which states and territories are the best (and worst), we analyze a few categories including their economy, climate, cost of living, crime and safety, education, health, and quality of life. I also implemented the pros and cons of each location and my personal experiences as I have lived in 10 and visited 52 of the 55 states and territories on this list!
Whether you want empty space to homestead and buy cheap land, OR live in a big walkable city with plenty of amenities, the US has it all! So my biggest suggestion is to visit these cities, towns, and state before you decide where you want to move to and live.
*Which US State or Territory would YOU want to live in the most?*

@@thekrazyhatter5063 oh -_-, they're both great tho!
I'm British - us Europeans often think of the USA being similar from coast to coast, but this video really hammers home how different the states are. It's mindblowing to me that some states have worse life expectancies than Bangladesh while others are richer than Switzerland!
Excellent comment! I learned a lot from him about USA (more than from my school)
The US is very diverse.
Don’t be fooled by life expectancy data. The number given is an average of all the people. If one state had a large number of men dying from prostate cancer, the state average would be lower, but it would not affect women’s life expectancy. If there is a high homicide rate, the life expectancy would be lowered because most victims are young men, thereby lowering the life expectancy rate. On e again, women’s rate is unaffected. In a state with a high breast cancer death rate, men would not be affected. Averages of anything tell us very little especially when the things measured also differ. All in all, not a very informative video, but good for deterring foreigners.
Yes USA is a very LARGE and DIVERSE, It will very interesting for him to produce a video to compare USA vs Europe vs Asia?
I always culture/standard of living is always determined far more by cities rather than country/state/region. Even within these states living in some areas vs others make huge differences.

We worked and lived in Massachusetts until our old bones were getting too cold there, so we retired and moved to Hawaii
Can't go wrong there!
Good for you. Very expensive.

I get a lot of astonished gasps from friends when I tell them that I thought Hawaii was the most boring place I had been. Beautiful, etc…but just no ZING.
Is mainlanders who price out native Hawaiians out of their own homes. I don’t blame you for moving there though.

Thank you 😂 yeah AL sucks & STAY AWAY 😂😂😂😂
It’s crazy that East Tennessee compared to middle and West Tennessee is like 1000,000 to one is like heaven on earth
Knoxville, Nashville, and Memphis are all SOOOO different. I'm from Greeneville and Knoxville.
Go Vols!
Yea I am from and live in middle Tennessee and I love where I live
I wouldn’t live anywhere else!! Keep in mind they ranked states with big cities, where they live and poop in the street and there is no law enforcement, higher than Tn! Lol!
@ulfhednar_sentinel Truth! I live 30 minutes from Memphis therefore I listen to the local Memphis news every morning. Well, not every morning anymore. Now I mainly just listen to catch the weather because I got so sick of the nonstop news on shootings, murders, carjacking, robberies, etc. every single freaking day! I rarely go into Memphis. It is a real sh!t hole. I can't speak for Nashville because I have only been there twice.
Exactly. I live in Nashville and it’s become a libturd hellhole
As a resident of northern South Carolina, it’s relatively peaceful here. Most of the bad things in our state are in the central region. The cost of living where I live is very affordable, and the Blue Ridge mountains are beautiful. I can definitely see why people are moving to South Carolina.
The politics and Sharia law. WTH ? Send them home
u were my favorite youtuber growing up and its great to see u doing what u love instead of making content about stuff u dont enjoy anymore
The video we've all been waiting for 👏🏼
Haha hope you enjoyed!
Thank you for going through the list at such a fast rate. That made watching very much easier...
An update we've been waiting for. ❤
Omg I have been waiting so long for this bc its been 3 years and I love these vids it helps me learn
Hope you enjoyed!
Amazing video - great job!
Wonderful video - well done - must took a lot work to cover all 55 (50 States + 5 Territories)
I was so excited for Virginia, and you talked about it for only 10 seconds!
yeh cuz it suck
A BEST counties in the USA rank would be great
That could be a fun one! Top 20 counties? Or the best county in each state?
@@FromHeretoThereBest county in each state, please!
Each state sounds more interesting!@@FromHeretoThere
The San Francisco Bay Area where I live is my fave county in California. @@FromHeretoThere
@@FromHeretoThere every single county
As someone from Nebraska, I think it’s easily the most consistent state. Everything is just… good! Small town are small and Omaha is Omaha. Could definitely have more to do at night… but there are some secret gems here and there
As an Iowan, every Iowan I have met hates Nebraska with all of their life.
I used to live there and the motto is honestly accurate. It's not the "best" life. But it is a "good life."
@@MrQuackerManz and I can concur, most Nebraskans cannot stand Iowans. Please leave and take your Hawkeyes with you

@@FromHeretoThere Will you return to MangoTango?
@@FromHeretoThereYou’re terrible with the commentary and inaccuracies get a REAL job!
I lived in Juneau Alaska for about five years with my parents. It did have its ups and downs but what made up for it was a glacier in our backyard, it’s situated in a temperate rainforest and it has some of the best fishing I’ve ever seen. I now live in New Orleans and the only good about it is that your food doesn’t take a week to get here like in Juneau and the downtown skyline. I’ve also lived in other states and was born in Tennessee so I’m more of a rural outdoor kid than a city kid
Job Transfer?
Good job! Been waiting for this video for a long time
Very educational video I must say!
Great video! Love Iowa & Maine
A video I have been waiting for!!! THANK YOU FROM HERE TO THERE!!!!!!!
Haha hope you enjoy!
Are you mango@@FromHeretoThere
Hi, Mango Tango js wanted to know if you will ever post on the other channel as it was really was my childhood. Thank you for one of the best childhoods no matter what anyone say
Amazing video with so much useful contents - well done!
Amazing video! I love it, Very interesting 55 states & MA is the best finally 1.10.2024
Yes MA is the best
finally MA is better than NH
Grateful l to be living in MA. Best state by far.
Great video, love it
great video, love it.
Great video
Super cool ranking job. Next video will be "Ranking many countries in Asia"?
Amazing video, huge amount of work ranking 55 STATES &Territories
FINALLY taking crime into consideration. Well done!
Thank you. I like to watch the video, to see what the other states look like. It's also interesting to know what places are good & which ones are bad.
Heyyyy I just moved to Utah and I am loving it! 🎉
It's a GREAT STATE!
@@FromHeretoThereI love your channel man can you make a video about your favorite states like top twenty or whatever you like
Really? What hellhole did you move there FROM? Granted, Utah is beautiful. However, the people there remind me of the movie "Stepford wives". Have you noticed that yet??
Yep, that weirdo is right. Stepford wives, boring, weird, creepy and all that. Come visit, spend money, and leave before something terrible happens to you. There is absolutely nothing to see here worth moving here. Did you know we have horns?
Agreed. It's the only highly ranked state on this list I would refuse to live in. Mormon capital, ugh. That said, it was great to visit for the scenery.@@efandmk3382
I always love the narration 😅😅😅 love every video BTW
agree
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy then Daryl!
Great video. Poor Mississippi and West Virginia can't catch a break.
It really is sad to see :/ Especially in West Virginia's case. Such a beautiful state
@@FromHeretoThere I lived near Biloxi for a year just before and after hurricane Katrina. It was a good place and was really set back by it. Definitely a different world along the coast. I hear WV is one of the most beautiful states and have only driven thru there once. I hear they need jobs badly.
lol I’m a truck driver and been all over the US and i promise Mississippi is not as bad as people make it seem .
@@nicholassummers2628 That's why these rankings need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Having been a Mississippian since 1961 living in Gulfport and Biloxi all that time I appreciate the lack of state tax on my retirement income both SS and pension. While wages are low that can be balanced against cost of living which narrows the gap with higher wage states. Having traveled in my working life I decided I am quite happy here.
Interesting topic!
Interesting ranking! Every city has unique aspects that make it special. Let's appreciate the diversity and work towards making each city the best it can be. Thanks for sharing this insightful perspective.
Thanks for the video, I love the US and its states, considering living there when I have the money. For now, I'll just be watching your videos haha
Haha where are you from?
@@FromHeretoThere Paris, France ! Thanks again for the quality content !
if you do ever come here, i would recommend virginia, its a very pretty state, it has really nice people, and its great living if you find a good town thats not too tiny
If you are serious about emigrating, do research carefully. Political information is easy to get, but a serious quality of life assessment is another matter. If you are from a first world country with a high cost of living and a cosmopolitan culture, do not move to an economically depressed region…the politics and the culture will be a serious blow.
Guns are everywhere in the USA…often in the hands of irresponsible people. Americans are messy…trash, potholes in the roads…
But if you are realistic, prepared, and curious…you will not be bored.
As a Hoosier (someone from Indiana) I can agree that you aren't missing much if you don't drive through it. However, we make up for it with a great capital city, Indianapolis. Also we are one of the largest and loudest fanbases for college sports (mostly basketball).
As another Hoosier, I forgot Indiana was a place for a second.
Indiana makes up for it in a lot of ways, especially with all of their lakes & rivers & their festivals!
Understanding diverse perspectives on states and territories enriches our understanding. Thanks for sharing this comprehensive analysis.
Super cool video, very enjoyable not just educational
As someone who lives in Kansas City, im glad you consider it underrated because it really is great
One of my favorite cities in the country! Punches well above its weight and it's still super cheap comparatively!
San Antonio is better

As a person living in Cincinnati it is a very good place to live with lots of forests, rivers, lakes, and fishing spots
Ya got it excellent bro🔥🔥🔥
There have been so many changes and it was hell enjoyable for me.
Really sorry for Colorado being dropped by the crazy violent crime issue, but so glad to see Massachusetts come up on the top and how a old OG state still being so great and stable.
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Amazing video well done
Nebraska checking in!
Hi I’m Australian I have two things to say our National Rugby League is coming to Las Vegas on March 1 as well as I was surprised that California was that low it’s crazy
As an arizonan, beige is the only color you'll see here. All our houses look like boxes of old El paso.
Interesting stats!
I would suggest that when ranking states, an important factor should be net migration rates. If people are moving into a state it should be higher on the list than states where people are leaving.
How do you figure ? Only reason people are moving there is because it’s cheap - why is it cheap? Because of all the issues and lack of opportunity. Theres a reason California, New York, and Washington are expensive - because people are willing to pay more to live there. No ones going to pay California prices in Kentucky, Mississippi, West Virginia, or even Texas (which is why they sell their 1 BR shack in California and get a mansion in Texas).
@@wayoutwest3009And another reasons: retirees. No offense, but they are not helping those aforementioned states to become economically better.
Migration wouldn’t be the greatest metric, the main reason why people leave states is cost of living (ie. California). If California/NYC had Texas prices people would FLOOD back in because they would rather live there than Texas. Cost of living is most certainly an important metric, but it’s not everything (who would want to live in Mississippi?) it’s better to look at it holistically.
Great video, very interesting & very well done
You mentioned almost no snow in Las Vegas. Here in the better city, Reno, we got 6-8 inches of snow last night.
Yeah Reno definitely gets a fair amount as it's right near Lake Tahoe. It usually only snows once every 5-10years in Vegas
Bro, what did us Las Vegas people do to you?
I was in San Diego when snowed so it can happen almost anywhere.
As we know statistics can be found in many places, however Las Vegas averages .3 inches of snow a year. Reno averages around 22 inches. .3 inches per year is not much snow.
I was in New Mexico recently for vacation, and seeing your placement of it felt so validating stg. I felt really uncomfortable there and I could never pin down why.
Excited to see how Michigan ranks!
Edit: omg as a Michigander that placement made me almost burst out laughing. I kinda wasn't expecting to see it so low, but it's a fair placement, and I'm glad you had good things to say about it
Personally I love new mexico and I've never felt uncomfortable there. To each their own
These rankings are good info but doesn't mean places are that bad. Mississippi for example has many nice places and is bogged down by education and city of Jackson being so bad.
new mexico is a downmarket version of arizona
I can’t believe that my state made first! You should’ve also included the best small villages and towns in the nation, because everywhere I go in my town is super nice and always helpful.
As someone who has went to the Virgin Islands I can confirm that there are many cruise ships and every beach is packed with people everywhere but the water is so nice
Wow thats enticing thanks eh ducky?
PLEASE DO 1 MORE VID ON THE IRON MANGO
Very interesting video, greetings from my island Puerto Rico! 🫡😎😊
Just an FYI there is a typo on the Massachusetts and Utah number ranking. Massachusetts got first, but it has the number 3 on it 😂. Great video though!
Yeah i caught that at the end 😂 Spent 3 days editing the video and I double checked through most of it, but i guess i was tired and missed that last last one at the end. Hope you enjoyed!
I’m glad this is back
super cool video
Witty and insightful.
I genuine laughed out loud.
Please make a top 10 reasons not to move to Charlotte
I’m in Nevada, and I’m fine living here and working full time, but if I ever have a kid, I’d rather raise them in New England. I was born there, and my dad had to move us out because of the job market, but now? What state doesn’t want an experienced bacteriologist? Nevada is said to have all the big city problems and none of the big city benefits, but when they’re between projects, the roads and parking are great. But can you please mark the parking lots a bit better? Or reprogram the Garmins to guide you to them instead of to the front of the buildings?
I lived in Virginia for a while, in the Hampton Roads area, and the commutes and schools were awful. But there’s tons of fun stuff to do on weekends (a zoo, museums, historical Jamestown and Williamsburg, amusement parks and water parks and a beach the whole family can enjoy), so I’d recommend a family vacation there. Bring bug repellent.
I am glad you touched on the mass construction here in Las Vegas.
As a cab driver it is frustrating.
Wow you do know a lot of USA, a great teacher - also very entertaining - full of energy,

Also I love these new videos
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
How long did this take you to write and make? Must’ve been forever! Awesome job lol
2 weeks haha. Thanks!
Very interesting video! As far as the 50 states went, I thought the state that would end up dead last would be West Virginia, and I thought the #1 state would be Utah.
You weren't far off! And glad you enjoyed!
As an Arkansan, if you want to come here, go to northwest arkansas. The ozark mountains are pretty and it has a good economy, with many big businesses rooted there, including Walmart. Everywhere else in the state is basically just Mississippi and Louisiana.
Definitely the one bright spot in the state!
They will understand how good arkansas is.They just assume that south arkansas is all of arkansas.Northwest arkansas is the best.
LOVE the effortless weaving together of jokes and facts lol!
Excited for ranking every country on Earth
LETS DO IT
Woot woot :D

Make an video "every state that is a victim of the Detroit effect"
Detroit effect: an effect created by me, the Detroit effect is when an state has only one big city, if you live away from that city your life is Good or avarege, but if you live near or in the city your life is an hell hole, like Michigan whit Detroit or Illinois whit Chicago, the only ways to avoid that effect is, or having more than one big city like California that has San Francisco, LA etc, or not having any big city at all like Vermont
I'm from the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. When I went to Detriot, I barely saw anything "wrong." (Plus, it's getting better there.)
Please please do an in depth state by state video series. Really go into it so people get the real life in those states. Ik it would take along time but i used to watch your videos ages ago and hope you would be inspired to do this type of video series
This was funny!😆
It’s fascinating/ironic how the wealthiest states work the least. Great video!
Work smarter, not harder, I guess? Thanks!
I noticed that too.
I worked in Boston for a California based firm. Some Boston airhead opined to me that Californians did not seem to WORK…and before giving a thought I spurted out…”Well, given the price of our real estate, Someone has to be pulling in some serious cash.
One thing I did notice..,color, of any kind beyond an oh so tasteful tiny polka dot on a necktie, Boston’s well employed classes all seemed to be dressed for the funeral of a rich uncle..
Once I’ve visited all 50, I’ll make my own personal ranking. Always better to come to your own conclusions
I literally watched the old one ,and now i am on watching this one
verry good !
Living in Massachusetts but only 4 minutes driving time to the New Hampshire border, you could say that I have the best of both worlds 🎉
Iowa being over California, New York, Texas etc. is crazy.
No it’s not
Iowa definitely doesn’t have the same baggage that comes with those other states, but it also doesn’t have the wealth of amazing things that come with those other states, either. Aside from the weather, which can be rough at times, Iowa is an extremely easy, quiet, simple place to live. For some people that is very pleasant and desirable . For others it can be bland and boredom is a constant companion.
If you are looking for natural beauty, exciting cities, better weather, and more economic opportunity, California, NY, and Texas have Iowa beat.
If you are looking for a more affordable, less complicated, less stressful life, then Iowa ranks high. Nothing really terrible happens there and nothing really amazing happens there.
amazing ranking all 55 states & territories
Well. I've got to give you credit for turning many of the lists I've seen over the past few years upside-down. Sounds like it's backed up by data though.
Nice to see Nebraska made the top 10.
It's a great state!
Yawn😅
I’m shocked my state of Minnesota only moved back one spot since the last video I’m honestly suprised and also this year is a lot warmer then last year idk why but it was raining on Christmas and we only got snow a few days ago
same and now it’s -20 to -40 windchill when last week it was in the +40s….
@@quixotic333 bro I know that’s so accurate
Minnesotans are deluded. They go around when it’s - 0 with shorts and T-Shirts. They actually believe the lies they feed themselves while saying “oh it’s really nice here, only light rain.
I lived there for more than 20 years and it’s freezing more than half the year and the summers are miserable (the Wildfire smoke from Canada now a yearly fixture) and so are the mosquitos 🦟 from the 12,000 plus lakes. Hence why only 5 million people live there with a state amongst the biggest state in the U.S. It’s basically like a mix of Wyoming and Michigan.
yeah it was way warmer in iowa too and it was also raining on christmas lol
but now it's -20 windchill and it's been in the negatives temperature wise far too long
