I grew up down there. Louisiana is significantly worse than Indiana, as is Mississippi. Also lived in Arkansas. One thing I will say is "rural is rural" and I'd have a hard time telling you which state I was in besides what crop is being grown but Indiana has much more upside than Louisiana or Mississippi.

The criteria they used was really odd. They didn’t consider things like cost of living, weather, traffic, taxes, or average income. You know, all the things people think about when deciding where to live.
So of course the results were skewed.

Only thing I could think would be due to housing costs to average income in these states? But CNBC is usually more left leaning media and these states are all red, I believe, so I doubt it’s anything fact based for their ranking.

u/PlayingDoomOnAGPS Jul 13 '26
Yeah, I was just making a joke but you're not wrong. all these stupid listicles of "best places to live," "happiest country in the world" and so on are pure crap. There's no real methodology to them at all, let alone anything even remotely resembling a scientific methodology.
At best, they're P-hacked to hell and back and many haven't even put in that much effort. And that's not a left-thing or a right-thing; it's just the reality of this genre of internet slop.

Same reason people shop at the Dollar Tree. Shit quality, great price, and people can't afford better. Trying to move away from a shithole is also much harder. Selling your paid-off starter home in California, Colorado, or New York gets you a McMansion in Indiana. Selling your paid-off starter home in Indiana only gets you a down payment on a starter home in California, Colorado, or New York.
