The Most Miserable City in Each State
The Declaration of Independence. It speaks of the inalienable rights of every American to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. And our forefathers could have told every one of us that location has a lot to do with that last right.
When their ancestors weren’t happy with the status quo in Britain, they migrated to much, much greener pastures to find their happiness. Are you starting to feel like a change is in order for you to find your happiness? Finding the right place to settle is essential.
Over time, we spread out across the United States (although it wasn't exactly called that at the time) to find the perfect little spot to call our home. It's not much different than we do now. Some people choose to move when they desire a big change while others are forced to do so for their jobs.
No matter the reason you're moving, we advise steering clear of any of the following cities on this list. Due to a number of factors, these are the most miserable city from each state. Read on to find out which city in your state made the list!

Did you know...
- You've heard of the phrase "wanderlust," but do you know the German word "fernweh"? It means "far sickness" or an intensely strong urge to travel. The next time you feel the need to head out on a road trip, you've got a case of fernweh. And the only cure is to travel somewhere new!
- Minnesota might say that it's the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," but Canada has it beat. The country as a whole has over three million lakes. That means Canada has 60% of the world's total number of lakes within its borders. It must seem like paradise for people who like to fish or boat!
- The surface area of Pluto is just under 6.5 million square miles. The CIA Factbook lists the area of Russia to be just over 6.6 million square miles. That makes Russia bigger than Pluto (and much closer to visit). Are you still very upset that Pluto isn’t a planet anymore?
- Jet lag is worse when you're traveling from west to east. That's because the changes in time zones become not only more physically apparent on your body, but they are also more culturally apparent. If restaurants close at 10pm on the East Coast, you'll just be getting hungry since it will feel like 7pm on your West Coast-adjusted body.
- There are over 61,000 people on a plane in the air over the U.S. at any given moment. That makes sense because the U.S. has one third of all the airports in the world. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world with over 100 million total passengers every year since 2015.
