Texas listed as one of the worst states to move to in 2024, says ranking. Here’s why BY KENDRICK MARSHALL UPDATED AUGUST 01, 2024 9:20 PM A late afternoon sun lights up Texas flags at the old Hood County Courthouse on the Historic Granbury Square Friday, March 19, 2021. DAVID MONTESINO [email protected] While Texas has seen steady growth in recent years, with several cities and towns experiencing population gains, the state might not be the best destination for transplants. That was the evaluation of ConsumerAffairs, which ranked Texas as the third-worst state to move to in the U.S. TOP VIDEOS The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard ConsumerAffairs, an Oklahoma-based company that produces consumer guides, ranked all 50 states and Washington, D.C., based on affordability, economy, education and health, quality of life, and safety. Texas was ranked ahead of California, which came in last. Tops on the list were Utah, New Hampshire, Idaho, Minnesota and Massachusetts. Texas received low marks in education and health, where ConsumerAffairs ranked Texas No. 51. Affordability also dropped the state’s overall ranking to No. 41. HOW CONSUMERAFFAIRS RANKED TEXAS ConsumerAffairs determined its recommendations by ranking each state from 1 through 51 in each of the five categories Data was used from the U.S. Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Tax Foundation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Zillow, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Wisevoter, The Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the CDC and the FBI, according to ConsumerAffairs. Texas ranked 51st in education. The ranking was determined by the percentage of people who are uninsured and the overall quality of care, according to the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report. Consumer Affairs also considered high school graduation rates in its evaluation. Texas also ranked low in economy (No. 37) and safety (No. 38), though the state did rank 16th in quality of life, according to the report.
