It’s amazing that other states have declined so rapidly and dramatically that Missouri has moved up to only the sixth worst state to live in in the country! As I recall, they and Alabama have historically vied for the top spot (or bottom spot, as it were).

Here are the allegedly 10 worst states to live in, from the article linked in this one:

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