Best: Iowa shines as a top choice for prospective homeowners, boasting the nation’s most affordable housing options. With a median price point of $181,900, your dream home might just be waiting for you in the Hawkeye State.

Worst: While Iowa offers great housing deals, a cautionary note for commuters and house hunters: it ranks lowest for bridge infrastructure. Over 5,000 bridges are flagged as ‘structurally deficient,’ spotlighting a critical area for improvement.
