I am not ashamed to say that I love my birth state of Missouri. That being said, I'd gladly move just about anywhere in the state with the exception of what I consider to be 5 somewhat iffy places.
What is the worst county in Missouri? It's hard to pick just one and it depends on who you ask. But, there's a new ranking based on three very fair metrics that pick the worst county in the Show Me State and it's a deserving choice that is crime-infested and almost in Tennessee.
I like to be a positive person, but even the optimistic side of me has a list of Missouri towns that I try to avoid whenever possible and I was born in the Show Me State.
