All 55 States & Territories in AMERICA Ranked WORST to BEST 

*Which US State or Territory would YOU want to live in the most?*

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!

We worked and lived in Massachusetts until our old bones were getting too cold there, so we retired and moved to Hawaii

ONLY STATES NOT TERRITORIES 1:14 Mississippi 50 1:38 Louisiana 49 2:33 Arkansas 48 2:51 New Mexico 47 3:38 West Virginia 46 4:06 Kentucky 45 4:32 Alabama 44 4:50 South Carolina 43 5:14 Oklahoma 42 6:12 Tennessee 41 7:12 Alaska 40 7:38 Michigan 39 7:59 Illinois 38 8:23 Missouri 37 8:55 Nevada 36 9:30 Arizona 35 9:58 Indiana 34 10:28 Texas 33 10:55 California 32 11:15 Ohio 31 11:40 Georgia 30 11:55 Delaware 29 12:22 Kansas 28 12:44 New York 27 13:06 Pennsylvania 26 13:48 Montana 25 14:16 Oregon 24 14:47 North Carolina 23 15:20 North Dakota 22 15:48 Rhode Island 21 16:21 South Dakota 20 16:40 Virginia 19 17:02 Florida 18 17:35 Maine 17 17:57 Iowa 16 18:25 Conneticut 15 18:50 New Jersey 14 19:13 Wisconsin 13 19:32 Colorado 12 19:55 Wyoming 11 20:07 Vermont 10 20:29 Maryland 9 20:47 Nebraska 8 20:54 Idaho 7 21:02 Minnesota 6 21:35 Washington 5 22:06 Hawaii 4 22:27 Utah 3 22:58 New Hampshire 2 23:15 Massachussets 1

I literally watched your video yesterday and... boom! Updated ranking the next day, love it.

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.

Amazing video, huge amount of work ranking 55 STATES &Territories

Excellent video, very educational & very enjoyable, well done

Thank you for going through the list at such a fast rate. That made watching very much easier...

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

Amazing video - great job!

An update we've been waiting for. ❤

The video we've all been waiting for 👏🏼

It’s crazy that East Tennessee compared to middle and West Tennessee is like 1000,000 to one is like heaven on earth

Wonderful video - well done - must took a lot work to cover all 55 (50 States + 5 Territories)

Omg I have been waiting so long for this bc its been 3 years and I love these vids it helps me learn

I was so excited for Virginia, and you talked about it for only 10 seconds!

Super cool video, full of contents

A video I have been waiting for!!! THANK YOU FROM HERE TO THERE!!!!!!!

Amazing video - so much work to produce it.

Good job! Been waiting for this video for a long time

Very educational video I must say!

Great video! Love Iowa & Maine

Amazing video with so much useful contents - well done!

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

Great video, love it

Amazing video! I love it, Very interesting 55 states & MA is the best finally 1.10.2024

great video, love it.

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

Great video

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

Excellent synopsis

It’s great to see you doing well!! You were the first RU-vid I’d stay up watching as a young child. It’s great to see you move on to different content!

I always love the narration 😅😅😅 love every video BTW

Thanks for giving Nebraska some love

Great video. Poor Mississippi and West Virginia can't catch a break.

FINALLY taking crime into consideration. Well done!

Super cool video, very enjoyable not just educational

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! 🎉

A BEST counties in the USA rank would be great

great video, well done

Amazing video well done

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

You should do one with Canadian provinces included to see where they end up in the sea of states

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.

Understanding diverse perspectives on states and territories enriches our understanding. Thanks for sharing this comprehensive analysis.

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).

Your video on all 50 states and 5 territories ranked from worst to best is a captivating journey. Appreciate the insights and diverse perspectives. Thanks for this comprehensive overview!

Interesting topic!

Great Video! I was looking forward to this

So happy to know that MA is the best - many jobs here with high salary

As a person living in Cincinnati it is a very good place to live with lots of forests, rivers, lakes, and fishing spots

Amazing video love it

PLEASE DO 1 MORE VID ON THE IRON MANGO

Super cool ranking job. Next video will be "Ranking many countries in Asia"?

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.

Great video, very interesting & very well done

Interesting stats!

As someone who lives in Kansas City, im glad you consider it underrated because it really is great

As an arizonan, beige is the only color you'll see here. All our houses look like boxes of old El paso.

super cool video

You mentioned almost no snow in Las Vegas. Here in the better city, Reno, we got 6-8 inches of snow last night.

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

Nebraska checking in!

Very interesting video, greetings from my island Puerto Rico! 🫡😎😊

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.

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

Witty and insightful. I genuine laughed out loud.

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

Please make a top 10 reasons not to move to Charlotte

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!

Wow you do know a lot of USA, a great teacher - also very entertaining - full of energy, with wonderful acting, far from boring!

amazing ranking all 55 states & territories

Can you do 10 reasons to move to certain states!

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.

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.

Amazing video, we all love it

I’m glad this is back

Mississippi may rate last but as a move in I can tell you some of these things are true but I can also say it is one of the nicest places to live. The people are kind and caring and the weather is great except for July and August. You don’t have to be money hungry to live here. Comparing us to Bangladesh is just totally wrong.

That was realy interissting, thank you. Pretty sure i never heard of maine before :D

Hey man when are u gonna upload on mango tango

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

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

Excited for ranking every country on Earth

verry good !

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.

Proud Marylander here 🎉

MANGO TANGO WHEN YOU COMMING BACK please explain if you can Also I love these new videos

How long did this take you to write and make? Must’ve been forever! Awesome job lol

Once I’ve visited all 50, I’ll make my own personal ranking. Always better to come to your own conclusions

Curious to know: which state or territory surprised you the most in this ranking and why? Let's start a friendly discussion and see if we have any hidden gems in the USA!

I literally watched the old one ,and now i am on watching this one

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.

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 🎉

Happy to live in #5 Washington.

We miss you mango thanks for shaping my childhood.

Amazing job to rank 55 states & T, Yes USA is a very LARGE and DIVERSE. Yes everyone wants to visit USA! Will it be too hard or too much work to produce a video to compare USA vs Europe vs Asia?

Mannn you did Virginia so dirty! Also having states like Iowa, Wyoming, Nebraska, above it is insane 😂, and also saying the whole state is like a suburb of DC, has no city etc is ridiculous 😂
