The Volunteer State was recently named the worst state for quality of life, according to a CNBC study. While Tennessee has previously been among the worst states, this is the first year since the COVID-19 pandemic that the state has come in dead last.
In 2024, Tennessee ranked as the sixth-worst state for quality of life, accumulating just 96 out of 325 possible points. In 2023, Tennessee came in eighth place for the worst quality of life.
The quality of life ranking is a subsection of CNBC's Best States for Business study. Points are awarded to states based on crime rates, environmental quality, health care and more, according to CNBC.
What makes life in Tennessee so bad?
According to the CNBC study, Tennessee's weaknesses include the crime rate, inclusiveness and worker protections.
The crime rate in Tennessee has long dragged the state's reputation down in the CNBC poll. In 2023, the most recent year of data from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, there were 43,613 offenses of violent crimes, including more than 700 murders.
For every 100,000 people, there were 628 crimes in 2023. That's 67.8% higher than the national average, according to USA Facts, a nonprofit organization specializing in government data accessibility.

Much as I hate to admit, carve out Memphis and it shoots to 1.
But I’m glad they ranked Tennessee last. Hopefully mfers will stop moving here.

That's odd because Tennessee is one of a few states I'm looking to retire to.

CNBC survey makers are retarded. Louisiana and Mississippi are clearly 49A and 49B on the worst states in America and it’s not even close.

You should look at NC. We are full.

Mississippi is kinda kicking arse.

Oh? And who is committing the crime and where?
Tennessee is gorgeous. You're telling me you'd prefer New Mexico or North Dakota or New Jersey to Tennessee?

Yea that’s why they are tied. They have made up a lot of ground on Louisiana to tie it up. The JBE years were a disaster for Louisiana and I don’t see things improving anytime soon.

NC is a possibility too.

You will love it. Check out Brevard.

Serraneaux And his 50 alters dragging down the volunteer state.

If Tennessee sold Memphis to Arkansas the crime rate would plummet.

Good, Nashville is already overcrowded

The fact that this appears to be an important item for the study tells you everything you need to know about its validity for a vast majority of people.
Edit: in clicking through to the CNBC article the justification to put Utah in the bottom ten is particularly hilarious and cites that families spend a lot on children care as a key factor. Ummm. Might that be because the average family size is materially higher than average due to the prevalence of LDS?
