Impossible to answer based on states, or even cities. Consider where you live. Surely there are good and bad neighborhoods in almost any town near you.

Think about it this way. The whole of the United Kingdom is slightly smaller than Oregon. You just can't simplify things that much.

The only thing you could really do is narrow it down to what cities you are really considering, and then ask what neighborhoods would be recommended to live in, or avoid.
