25 Worst States to Live and Work In

4. South Carolina

Residents of South Carolina face an alarming annual likelihood of nearly 80% encountering the impact of tropical storms. Coastal areas like Myrtle Beach and Charleston are particularly vulnerable, but the effects of these storms, characterized by powerful winds and heavy rains, can extend across the entire state during hurricane season. South Carolina also contends with a moderate frequency of tornadoes, averaging around 10 each year. Additionally, living in South Carolina means enduring numerous sweltering summer days. The coastal regions, in particular, experience exceedingly high humidity levels, contributing to an even more intense perception of heat.

Furthermore, when it comes to crime rates, South Carolina ranks near the top of states with high crime rates, being among the highest in property crime rate and violent crime rate in the USA.
