This is some incredibly eye opening information. Where does your county? Mine is in the top 20 in the country.

The Republican South is doing poorly, as usual.
My county is dark green.

Pretty interesting map

It's oversimplified of course but mine's supposedly about 60% of the way down the list. But on the other hand I have a dark sky at night, lots of land, absolute quiet and lots of room in a cheap house with four identifiable seasons. Think I'm stayin'.

Right smack dab in the middle of Conservatopia.

What a surprise.

mine is top 100....but that has to be old....some of the numbers are wrong.....

Dark Green here, but the recession never took it down much to begin with

 

[Missourian]

Bah.

My $100 is worth $112.

In New York that same $100 is worth $88.

Don't you think its just a little odd that the Northern-most county in Alaska, above the arctic circle is ranked about as easy to live in as Hawaii?

I agree with the article, the Southeast takes the prize.. I've live in several places in the Southeast that the article rates as the worst. They're right; median household income, unemployment rate, disability rate, life expectancy and obesity is really pitiful.

Not living in Mississippi is worth the extra expense for me.

I love Mississippi, awesome state, great people...also the most racially diverse state...38% African American.

Yes that's my point.

The criteria they used allows Northern-most Alaska which is in near total darkness half the year, to be just as easy to live in as Hawaii?

Ridiculous.

Medium orange; I'm happy. I thought we would be dark orange.

I have not lived in MS.

I used to drive through it though, occasionally stopping somewhere off IH 55 (Hattisburg, Jackson, Biloxi) surrounded by miles, and MILES of nothing but pine trees. The only thing that impressed me was the amazingly beautiful women....it was almost like they were cloning them in some secret laboratory behind the thick piney veil.

With a few exceptions, the map shows where people make the most money in the USA.

My county, Boulder, CO is ranked 38, and is surrounded by counties similarly populated by The Wealthy.

This a PERFECT example of how completely OUT OF TOUCH big city media outlets are with the rest of the United States.

The biggest SHITHOLES in the United States are all big city metropolitan areas, such as (in no particular order):

Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Memphis, Milwaukee, and several other bottom-feeding cities too numerous to mention.

NOBODY in ANY of these cesspool cities would last more than a few days, if the economy tanked and/or a major nationwide terrorist situation occurred, and they had to venture out into the REAL WORLD to survive.

I have a friend from college that lives there, works for NARF. My county is also beautiful, as long as poverty, wildfires, tropical storms (also in the top 20 in thunderstorm activity in the US), flooding, and a few other minor problems are ignored.

Hey they rated NH pretty well.

Is there a city in NH?
