But there are plenty of other discouraging statistics to be found here as well: the percentage of a state's female population that lives in poverty, or is unemployed, or uninsured; how small a percentage of businesses are owned by women; and which states have the lowest female life expectancy.

WalletHub also sought expert opinions on a range of issues women face daily, and how those issues affect the female population.

Among the segment of workers having a particularly tough time saving enough for retirement, there are plenty of factors to be considered when contemplating a move to a different state.

Women might want to improve their odds of success, rather than cut them—so they might want to avoid these 10 worst states for women.

10. Texas

Texas is 42^nd in economic and social well-being and 39^th in health care and safety.

But women are definitely not a priority when it comes to insuring them; the state finishes at the bottom of the nation by having the highest female uninsured rate.

Uninsured medical costs can present a massive threat not just to everyday financial stability, but to long-term financial health—particularly with health care costs posing one of the biggest worries to workers as they prepare for retirement.

9. Oklahoma

Oklahoma ranks well below the midpoint on both economic and social well-being (38^th) and health care and safety (42^nd).

Its women aren't voters, with the state ranking 48^th in the percentage who voted in the 2012 presidential election.

Margaret Brooks, director of the office of financial literacy at Bridgewater State University and president of the RI Jump$tart Coalition and RI Council for Economic Education, said on WalletHub that "[i]t's crucial for women to have a voice in matters relating to their economic and financial well-being—in their households, in the workplace, in the schools and in the voting booth."

8. West Virginia

Thirty-ninth in economic and social well-being and 45^th in health care and safety, West Virginia also ranks dead last in the percentage of its female population who voted in the 2012 presidential election.

More important is its next-to-the-bottom place in women's life expectancy at birth.

Women considering a place to live might want to raise their daughters in a more congenial environment.

7. New Mexico

New Mexico actually didn't do horribly in the ranking for women's economic and social well-being, although it didn't do well, coming in at 35.

But in health care and safety it was a dismal 47^th.

Women in New Mexico are likely to be unemployed (the state ranked 48^th) and poor (50^th), and to drop out of high school (45^th). But they're also likely to be murdered; the state ranked 45^th because of the high percentage of women likely to be murdered per 100,000 females.

6. Mississippi

Mississippi ranks 40^th in the country for economic and social well-being, but 48^th for health care and safety.

It has the third highest unemployment rate for women, and the highest percentage of women living in poverty—and, perhaps most disturbing, the lowest life expectancy for women at birth.

Yet it came in second for the percentage of women who voted in the 2012 presidential election.

5. Arkansas

While it may be the Natural State, it doesn't follow that Arkansas is naturally a good place for women.

It's ranked 46^th in the country for their economic and social well-being and 43^rd for health care and safety, and it's a poor place for them to live, literally—coming in at 48^th in the country for having such a high percentage of women living in poverty.

Women aren't very politically active here, either, at least in the state's ranking of the percentage of women voting in the 2012 presidential election; it came in in 50^th place.

4. Alabama

Alabama ranks 48^th in the nation for economic and social well-being for women, and just a tad better—at 46^th—for their health care and safety.

It has the fifth highest percentage of women living in poverty, but ironically is tied for fifth place for having the lowest high school dropout rate for women—definitely a positive.

Still, coming in at 49^th place for women's life expectancy at birth is not a good thing; female residents may not need to worry about a long period of retirement at that rate.

3. Nevada

Third from the bottom for economic and social well-being and dead last in health care and safety, Nevada isn't looking so good as a place for women to thrive.

It has the second-highest unemployment rate for women in the country, and the second-highest uninsured rate for women.

2. South Carolina

South Carolina sewed up the 50^th spot—second from the bottom—for both economic and social well-being and health care and safety.

Not exactly a sterling record. It also placed 47^th in the nation on that female murder rate.

Kelly Pemberton, associate professor of religion and women's studies in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at George Washington University, commented at WalletHub that "a public policy agenda for women should include training for law enforcement officials on the proper investigation of sexual assault and domestic violence cases."

1. Louisiana

The good times aren't rolling in Louisiana for women, according to WalletHub.

The state not only finished at the absolute bottom for women's economic and social well-being, it was in 49^th place for women's health care and safety. It placed 49^th, as well, for the largest percentage of the female population living in poverty.

In addition, that murder statistic? Louisiana placed 44^th for the highest number of female homicides per 100,000 females.

It also ranks 43^rd for female homicide rates per 100,000 females.
