Summary
Missouri placed 20th in WalletHub’s latest ranking of financially stressed states, putting it in the upper half of the national list.
WalletHub based the ranking on distressed-account measures, bankruptcy-filing changes, and debt and loan search-interest indexes tracking signs of household strain.
Kansas, Louisiana and Florida ranked as the most financially distressed states, while Maine, Rhode Island and Hawaii were the least distressed.
Nationwide, 8.8 million Americans have at least one credit account that is delinquent or in forbearance, underscoring how broadly financial pressure remains spread.
