America is beautiful, with truly awe-inspiring nature and other sights worth seeing.
However, its not all beautiful. In fact sometimes it can be a little, dare we say it, gross.

Dont believe me? Just get a good whiff of landfill on a hot summer day or go to basically any Walmart.

But where are the grossest places in the US? We set out to make gross a science and uncovered the grossest states in America.

The Grossest States
  1. Virginia
  2. South Carolina
  3. North Carolina
  4. Pennsylvania
  5. Texas
  6. New Jersey
  7. Connecticut
  8. Georgia
  9. Delaware
  10. New York
Keep reading to see what won these states the less than sought after title of grossest states in America.

HOW WE DETERMINED THIS

We started with undisputed metrics of gross-ery.
  • Dirty air
  • Trash, or the percentage of each state that is landfill
  • Spread of illness like the flu
To measure the dirtiness of the air, we referred Air Filters Delivered thorough ranking on air quality.
For the trash rating, we simply used the EPAs data on the percentage of each states land that is taken up by landfills.

We then looked at the CDCs ranking on spread of illness in each state like the flu. Because sneezing, coughing, and spreading diseases is pretty gross.

From there, we decided to add some cultural factors that are a bitwell, gross. AKA Google search interest in:
  • Mayo recipes
  • Croc wearing
Sorry Mayo lovers and Croc wearers. A line had to be drawn somewhere.
