By most objective measures, it's Mississippi. Highest poverty rate, lowest life expectancy, poor infrastructure, some of the worst education, poor health care access and quality...

Mississippi - Mainly just the desolation, oppressive heat and humidity, bugs, horrible roads, and generally nothing to do! Also, everything seems 30-40 years behind everywhere else!
