How does life in your state compare to the rest of America?

CNBC released its rankings of the best and worst states to live in the United States last week.

Its rankings come from the network's yearly research on the best states for business in 2023. One of the 10 criteria for the list is Life, Health & Inclusion, from which CNBC determines the best and worst states to live.

CNBC allots 350 possible points to each state, measuring categories such as per capita crime rates, environmental quality, health care and worker protections.

The research also examines anti-discrimination laws, voting rights and access to childcare. Surveys indicate a large percentage of women consider reproductive rights in deciding where they are willing to live and work, so CNBC includes abortion laws in this category.

Texas ranked the worst state to live in the US​

Texas has received the number one spot on a not-so-pleasant list: The top 10 worst places in America to live and work in 2023.

While Texas landed at number six on CNBC's yearly America's Top States for Business study, the state scored significantly low in one category: Life, Health & Inclusion. Factors in this category include:

  • crime rates
  • environmental quality
  • health care
  • quality and availability of childcare
  • inclusiveness in state laws such as reproductive rights, protections against discrimination and voting rights.

Texas received 53 out of 350 points for its 2023 Life, Health & Inclusion score, giving it an F in its Top States grade and the lowest nationwide, securing its number one spot on the list.

CNBC did mention the boom in economic opportunity across the state. In the overall Top States for Business study, Texas received sixth place, with North Carolina taking the number one spot.

Top 10 worse states to live and work​

The rest of the states that landed on the top 10 worst states to live and work for 2023 were:

  1. Texas
  2. Oklahoma
  3. Louisiana
  4. South Carolina and Alabama (tie)
  5. —
  6. Missouri
  7. Indiana
  8. Tennessee
  9. Arkansas
  10. Florida

Vermont ranked the best state to live in the US​

By contrast, Vermont won the acclaimed spot of the best place to live. Residents are statistically more stress-free and healthy. With the beautiful Green Mountains, Vermont offers the best air quality in the United States. The state provides the most accessible childcare, broad anti-discrimination protections and easy access to voting.

CNBC gave Vermont an A+ in Life, Health and Inclusion. The state's largest weakness is worker protections, which are less stringent compared to some other states.

I lived in Alaska for 10 ten years. The annual check per person was about $1,500. Cost of living rivals Cali. Some places can be only reached by plane. Heating oil for a house could easily be $350/month.

Alaska is dope. Peaceful as fuck. Sitka is nice. Get me a crib off one the islands in the distance.

Just enjoy and wait for the next earthquake or Sunami on top of paying loot for everything...... PASS

Instead of cooking in the 'lower 48' in July & August, take a flight up there to relax for a week(if you got the funds)
 
Outside of the extremes with the expensive bullshit, shit is what you make it out here in this day and age. Ain't no real man worried about no cacs(outside of pigs). Cacs ain't about to step or do shit. So get it where you get it.
 
And here I was thinking about relocating to Houston. I mean, anywhere is what you make it. Been there a few times and like the vibe, but know nothing about the different communities. Heard about cypress and humble, but want mixed demographics

Nigga, how Mississippi not in this list!?! They stay trying to kill nigros down there! Shit, they can't even drink the water in they capitol city....cause a gang a nigros live there! Tha fuc!?!
 
Damn, that's an interesting grouping / position for Texas. It's one of the best places for business, but the worst place to live???!!! That sounds like the exact definition / situation for an exploitative atmosphere.

Just 1,500 a year. Damn, that's all and you say prices are like Cali. Seems like a bad deal if you think about it. What's the job market like? I know there is prolly a lot of work for the fishermen's crew, outdoor labor folks, and sea/port folks.

When I was up there Oil, Fisheries, Railroad, State Government(universities included) & military are the main industries in the state. If you add some native blood in you or married to one then you had the best healthcare insurance. If you weren't employed by those groups, your best bet was to start your own company.
