most debt states in us
After Massachusetts, its neighbor to the north, Rhode Islandâs debt per capita is the second highest in the nation, contributing to its rank as the fourth worst-run state. While the average state debt per capita across all states is $3,567, Rhode Islandâs debt is equal to $9,068 per state resident. With a dwindling tax base, conditions may get worse in the Ocean State before they get better.
