Delaware
Good answer and one that I don't think has been said yet. People tend to forget that Delaware is actually a place.

Not sure if serious
I can understand some people not digging it. If you're not into the outdoors at all or need a large metro area, it's probably not your cup of team. Anchorage is a bigger, more urban area than most believe though.

Least want to live in? Insert any landlocked state. My eating habits include way too much seafood and never considering if it's wise to order shellfish off the menu of a place that certainly doesn't specialize in shellfish.
Wouldn't want to live in California or New York either. Sorry, I like guns.

I'm not sure where I wouldn't live. I've lived in several states and they all had pros and cons. I always figure if I move somewhere and I don't like it, I can just move somewhere else.

It's in the constitution.

I would move to Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, or back to Boston tomorrow. I freaking love that area.

Kansas, Iowa, ND, SD, Missouri, Ohio...pretty much any interior state

Cali and New York. But I fricking hate liberals, so anywhere outside of La or Texas sucks.

Every state, if you look hard enough, is going to have bright spots and bad spots.
Overall, I'd ignore the state borders in general, and discuss areas not ideal for living in, by my reckoning and experience.
Western Nebraska is on my list; hours and hours away from anything, brutal winters, and a desolate landscape that has nothing enjoyable about it.
Southern Indiana is as well-- Indianapolis is nice enough, as cities go, but south of there, you can get the charm of Iowa in the nicer parts, and the dirty qualities of dead rust belt/meat packing Ohio as well.

Reflections in general... usually, you can find something to like in every state. Impressions from our conference footprint, taken from a stance of middle age with a family:
Mississippi - I'm FROM there and would never contemplate going back.
Louisiana - OK to visit, wouldn't want to live there. No offense to our SECRant brethren, but Louisiana seems like the dirtiest, trashiest state in the nation.
Arkansas - I could see maybe living on one of the northern lakes. There are no jobs for me there, though. I can't really think of any redeeming qualities to make me want to move there.
Missouri - not enough info, have only driven through some parts.
Texas - lived in TX as a young lad. Would not be that excited about the mega cities but they are leading the nation in so many areas and the job market is wide open. Low sales/income taxes, high property taxes.
Kentucky/Tennessee - I generally consider these to be about the same. No problems, like the cities for the most part except Memphis. I like rolling hills and rivers.
Georgia - meh. Take the traffic out of Atlanta and the value of the entire state would skyrocket.
Florida - have to travel to the Cocoa Beach/Canaveral area a lot, my family has fallen in love with the area. I like the Atlantic beaches here. Would not want to be much further south, though.
South Carolina - love the upstate area, otherwise not so much. More of a rural state than you'd expect.
Alabama - I live in north Alabama, which is very different than central or south Alabama. Great place to live and raise a family with very low cost of living. Would also consider Baldwin Co. Not much else, though.
===
I always have said that given the choice of living where I want to live, start in central N. Alabama and go due east on a line to just before you hit Charlotte. I want to live somewhere within 75-100 miles north to south of that line. Plenty of recreation, low cost of living, jobs in my field, never too far from some really neat cities (Hsv, Chat, Atl, Green, Char), only a few hours from beaches.
===
Other areas I could see living IF I could manage the financial side of things:
California - the land of fruits and nuts. Weather and climate, recreational opportunities are incredible. Only certain areas though.
Utah - LOVE the SLC area and just north. Very clean, awesome area. Travel there occasionally for work and love it.
Colorado - Denver is nice but expensive. Have heard great things about Ft. Collins and Colorado Springs.
Washington DC/Arlington/Northern VA - tons of things to do. If I were single, I'd try to find a way to get here somehow. Annapolis is a great area IMHO. Delmarva is nice also.
Central Connecticut - high cost of living but very close to major cities, great overall location.
===
Areas I would probably never consider based on experiences and travel to those areas:
Massachusetts
Minnesota - jeez, too cold but I know it's nice
New Jersey - the Mississippi of the northeast
Oklahoma
Kansas
Illinois
Michigan
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Nebraska

North Dakota for me. Some of these answers have to be trolls.

I wouldn't want to live in any of the Big Ten states except for Maryland, Rutgers, and PA but ONLY if it is Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. Also add Nebraska, the Dakotas, Kansas, and Oklahoma to the list.
Anywhere else I could manage.
