What is the worst US state to live in generally?
I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in due to traditionalism, or are more progressive states bound to grow worse?

There's more people of color living in all those states you hate then in any other part of the country, so your first point makes no sense
You can dislike a place and have nothing against people living it.
Considering the mentioned locations are, boiled down, hell holes run mostly by angry white men, I'd risk the living conditions in those places is due to systemic racism and other outdated views on what a society should be.
People living in those those areas are victims and most probably poverty blocked to even consider to leave, regardless of melanin skin levels, although in the US being a shade over milk white is a detriment for having peaceful life.
Stating those places are a bad choice to live is not racism: is stating a fact.
Your first point still makes no sense, it's a contradiction
Why can't I state that some place is a hell hole where no one should be stuck but, nonetheless, state the people living there - or at least a good majority - are actually good people?
Considering the stain politics is for the majority of places nowadays, with the growing effort for extremists/conservatives/right wingers/religious zealots trying to roll back civilizational conquests attained in least 50 to 80 years, it's not hard to infer that a very small group can and will make life terrible for those unaligned with their views.
So, where is the contradiction?
Why is that the metric you use, and not the policies they have? Just because plack people are too smart to live in the frigid north doesn't mean the South is a great place to live
You assume that the majority of them live there by choice, and not because they lack the resources and opportunities to move. It's kinda hard to pull up roots and move half way across the country when the economic and political realities of where you currently live force you to remain firmly entrenched in poverty with deliberately restricted access to any means to improve that situation.
By your logic, black people must love prison, too, because they represent a disproportionate percentage of the prison population. I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with disproportionate enforcement against them, right?
