Far be it from us to throw shade on your home sweet home, but the data does not lie. The Quality of Life category in our annual America's Top States for Business study ranks all 50 states on overall livability based on metrics, including crime rate, attractions, air quality, health and health care and legal protections against discrimination. Quality of Life is worth a possible 300 out of 2,500 total points in the study, based on the Top States methodology and sources. Journey with us now through this year's Top States hall of shame — the 10 bottom states for quality of life.

2. LOUISIANA
Heavenly beignets, deep-fried with a generous topping of powdered sugar. An oyster po' boy dressed with lots of mayo. Crawfish étouffée with buttery sauce, and rich bananas Foster for dessert. Okay, those are some of the good things about Louisiana's quality of life. But they also explain why this is America's fattest state. It is also among the most dangerous, with the nation's highest murder rate. New Orleans alone logged 175 murders last year, the most deadly since 2012.
2017 Quality of Life score: 87 out of 300 points
Weaknesses: Health, crime
Strength: Attractions
2016 Quality of Life rank: No. 47
47

so everything Louisiana can be dictated by what goes on in NOLA?

The state government is the worst thing about Louisiana. Good food should be a marker for good quality of life, quantity of life is another thing.

Who did Mississippi bribe at CNBC?

Every ranking is based on dumb SJW metrics these days, it's annoying
As if state discrimination law means anything anyway. A real ranking would look to needless legislation and the burden it places on business while having practically no real world positive consequences.

Louisiana is a police state that discriminates against minorities. It's pretty much a present day Nazi Germany
eta: Damn thought the Nazi comment would demonstrate my obvious sarcasm
