Read about all the other states and you will know not to take them seriously. Of course, some of you won't read the article and will just call BS. Oh wait, some of you already have.
Florida has long attracted an older population, looking to escape cold winters. Many are in residence 6 months a year to avoid state taxes in their home states. It is projected that by 2015, one of every 5, with a residence in Florida, will be elderly.
That list seemed pretty random to me. I could come up with a ranking better than that. Anyway, no big fan of Florida but there are some nice areas of Florida and they are far from last place...ever heard of Mississippi?
The only "controversial" thing about this is why yahoo news is picking up an obviously "onion like" article and re-printing it as news?
It was a Newsweek article.
And yes, you are right. Even the Onion has more credibility than Newsweek these days.
