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.

New York (upstate) is beautiful.
New York (city) is a fucking cesspool.

New York is literally one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Did they just go to some fat guy's basement in Manhattan and then put it on this list? That's absurd.

I live in NC and it is completely gross. People toss their garbage everywhere. Someone even took a shit in my driveway once. It was definitely a person because there was toilet paper scattered around. Not joking.

You clearly watch way too many movies.

New York is nowhere near as clean and pretty as it is made out to be in movies.

Yeah this. New York City is the worst city I've visited. The amount of times the whole place smells like septic is something else

I live in New York City but upstate is beautiful. There's a whole rest of the state you know. I would say the most beautiful place I've seen is the Lacey, Washington area where Mt. Rainier is part of the scenery.

This is a list put together by people who don't understand New York.
Even NYC is at once gross and beautiful.

The rest of the State is exceptionally nice.
Outside of w/e sprawl that plagues all states, but that is a reflection on human nature more than anything.

The State is mostly rolling hill, farmland, and home to the largest State Park in the country. ((Mountains))
