California ranked among the worst states to move…
Those trying to relocate to the Golden State to search their fame and/or fortune might want to rethink, since a new report has California ranked as one of the worst states to move to.
ConsumerAffairs has launched its annual report of the best and worst US states to settle in, with California rating third to last in the nation.
The Golden State ranked forty eighth out of 50 states, remaining in the same place as it was on last 12 months’s checklist, with just Louisiana and New Mexico ranked behind in forty ninth and fiftieth, respectively.

The report also comes just days after a separate analysis by Wallethub revealing that California is home to six of the least-educated cities in the whole nation.
The ConsumerAffairs Research Team compiled its rankings by analyzing data on each state’s affordability, security, financial strength, healthcare and schooling, and high quality of life.
California ranks lifeless last at fiftieth in affordability, forty ninth in security behind New Mexico, and forty first in financial strength. It positioned a lot larger in the last two metrics, at twenty third in healthcare and schooling, and 14th in high quality of life, which seemingly helped the state keep away from the so-called cellar.
“And although California and Oregon rank higher in education and healthcare, their ongoing cost-of-living crises were evident in their affordability rankings, where they place 50th and 44th, respectively,” the research said.

“Typical housing costs account for 21.1% of the median income for CA residents, exceeding the national average of 17.6%,” the report provides.
“Living in California costs about 10.7% more than the national average — meaning residents pay more for everyday goods and services than most Americans,” the report continued.
While California scored high in healthcare and schooling and high quality of life, seven of the 10 worst states had the lowest high quality of life scores, with eight of 10 having the lowest in healthcare and schooling.
The report also provides that California is the most harmful state in the union, with 4.9 violent crimes and 20.78 property crimes reported per 1,000 residents.
The national average is 3.6 violent crimes and 17.6 property crimes per 1,000 residents.
Conversely, New Hampshire took the top spot as the best state to move to, leaping into the top spot from second place last 12 months, dropping last 12 months’s winner Utah down to second.
Idaho, Virginia and Maine rounded out the top 5 states to move to, with Arkansas (forty seventh) and Oklahoma (forty sixth) rounding out the backside 5 states.
