As an offshoot of CNBC’s America’s Top States for Business 2022 study, the news outlet also compiled a list of the worst states to live in. At the bottom of the list was Arizona, with the report calling the state the worst place to reside in the United States in 2022.
These are the 10 worst states to live in right now, according to a new report Methodology: CNBC’s report looked at factors such as health care, crime rates, environmental quality and child care.
It also took into consideration inclusiveness and protection against discrimination. Why Arizona? The American Lung Association says that Arizona has some of the worst air quality in the U.S., with some areas experiencing 39 high ozone days per year, per CNBC.
Phoenix, Arizona, ranked seventh for year-round particle pollution and 10th for short term particle pollution in 2020, according to IQAir. CNBC reports that Arizona also has a poor health care system compared to the rest of the country, with a shortage of staff and hospital beds. The state also spends $79 per person on public health, which is one of the lowest rates in the country.
Arizona has a Life, Health & Inclusion Score of 67 out of 325 points, which translates as a grade F, according to CNBC. The state is also placed at the bottom due to its air quality, health resources, inclusiveness and crime.
Yes, but: Although CNBC ranks the state last, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that Arizona is one of the fastest-growing states in the country, placing third in numeric growth in 2020.
Arizona is also known for some of the country’s most remarkable outdoor attractions, such as the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and the Hoover Dam, according to Visit Arizona.

It seems American’s values don’t align well with CNBC’s.
Inclusion ? Ozone ?
I’m surprised that there was no mention of Trump...
In the report, the worst states are all red states - AZ, TX, KS,OK, etc. The best states are blue states - VT, MI, IL, CA, etc.
Too many Cal -i -fornicators ....
Here in Jersey we have the New York scum fleeing that Sh*tHole
Yeah, it’s really bad here, especially for liberals. They need to move to some other place.
They’re not kidding. 120 in the shade, deadly rattlesnakes roaming the neighborhoods, and scorpions the size of Chihuahuas.
I hear Texas is nice.
In North Carolina every time we see a NY plate we say “Go home, we don’t want you here.”
Stay away from Arizona. Lots of gun nuts here, very dangerous.
The weather is terrible. The sun is blazing in the sky nearly all the time.
While the state electors went to Biden, that was only because of massive massive voter "turn-out" in 2020, when it was really, really important.
Don't count on it!
Arizona legislature is considering makeing it difficult to cheat in elections. The Gall!
Never move to Arizona.
If you must check out the State, July and August are good times to do so...
Keep the commies in all the blue states.
They can kill lots of babies.
Or, remove the slongs.
And hump Monkees all day long.
Weird.
The first place I would never flee to is NJ.
“As an Arizonan I’ll confirm (/s) the CNBC report. No good. Stay away, please.”
Me too also. This state is awful. Bad even.
Just drive on through to New Mexico or California.
However be sure to stop and spend some money. We take cash, check or credit card.
So why is “inclusion” included and how it is “measured”?
And from who’s standpoint? Caucasians? Males? Christians?
Child care? Again, who’s standpoint? Illegals?
Such asinine “criteria”
Too many McCainiacs.
How do you rate inclusivity?
Maybe by having laws that force people to include people against their will?
Maybe by having laws forcing people to use ‘inclusive’ language against their will?
I have no idea, but those are my guesses.
Well, if the authorities consider you an employee, they will just make inclusivity as company Policy.
Now, see that last word there?
Change the ‘y’ to an ‘e’.
They’ll never mention The Villages in FL, still one of the most successful residential developments in American history! I think they have four ZIP codes now.
Is there an Inclusiveness/Crime Matrix?
Do you really want to live in a state where people in Walmart are carrying AR15s?
