The Best and Worst Parts of Each U.S. State

Best: Portland, Oregon, holds the remarkable title of having the highest number of breweries globally, fostering a vibrant beer culture. This enthusiasm is mirrored in the state’s leading expenditure on craft beers, showcasing Oregonians’ deep-seated appreciation for quality brews.

Worst: However, Oregon’s darker side reveals a concerning statistic: it leads the nation with 676 sex offenders per 100,000 residents, along with a distressing ratio of 42 rapes per capita, tarnishing the state’s reputation and raising significant safety concerns.
