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...
I know people who live in the woods of WV and commute to northern Virginia/Maryland for work. They seem to all love it, and I can’t blame them. WV is pretty.
My old boss did that, lived in WV and commuted all the way into Bethesda every day. He spent DC money on WV land, so he lived well. His commute was long, but he shifted his schedule off-peak, spent the extra money on a very comfortable car, and genuinely appreciated having long and quiet car rides to himself every day.
