7. Nevada – Poor Healthcare, Low Education Levels
Lower education is often associated with lower life quality. Only a quarter of the population in Nevada has attained a bachelor’s degree.
However, lower education cannot make Nevada the worst state to live in on its own. Its public health spending and allocation of hospital resources have contributed to its inclusion on the list. Nevada ranks worst in primary care doctors per capita and spends the lowest inhabitant’s health per person per year at $50.
11.2% of the state’s residents don’t have health insurance, resulting in a lower life expectancy. Nevada has had among the highest unemployment rates in the nation for years. However, at 12.9%, the poverty rate is relatively lower than in several states.
The cost of living is high across the state.
Bestplaces.net lists the living index as 109.7 (100 is the US basis). Housing, transportation, and food are among some of the most expensive items in comparison to the nation as a whole.
