Residents of every state have at least one aspect of their home they can brag about, but also one they would probably rather forget.

Minnesota state residents may gloat about the state’s extremely healthy population, but are probably less likely to do so about the state’s freezing cold winters — although some still may. Alaskans are probably happy to live in a state with wide-open spaces, but they are likely less proud of the state’s nation-worst unemployment rate. Idahoans no doubt are proud of the natural beauty found in features like the Sawtooth Mountains, but also are probably unhappy about their state’s high risk of wildfires.
