This one is difficult to rank because it really depends if you prefer flat-lands, mountains or living on the coast. Florida, while beautiful, regularly has destructive hurricanes and bugs are a constant source of annoyance. Texas has tons of bugs too, has water scarcity issues, and exposure to cartel chaos. Tennessee earns top spot, specifically the Upper Cumberland region, because it has no natural disasters, four seasons where you can grow nearly any type of food, and feels like the northern region of Armenia.

Arguably the three most significant cultural cities in the south are Austin, Texas; Miami, Florida; and Nashville, Tennessee. Texas and Florida take top spots in the culture ranking because of the sheer number of cities with diverse cultures in their state. If you seek a more rural lifestyle Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas and Virginia can also accommodate that with moderate amounts of travel to the local Armenian community.

When deciding where to move, you want to know what you are signing up for. For example, supposing you are leaving the North East, you’d hate to spend 20 years building a home some place that turns into the North East. Tennessee is the clear winner in this regard because it is the only state on the ranking that isn’t “Purple” or at risk of becoming “Purple.” Tennessee is squarely conservative and there does not seem to be any indication of this changing.

The top 3 of Florida, Virginia, and Texas have the most Armenian churches and largest Armenian communities within reach if you were to move there. Tennessee has a small Armenian community in Nashville and otherwise would require a several hour drive to an Armenian church in Georgia or North Carolina. This is the factor that Tennessee scores the worst on at the moment.
