These are the best - and worst - things about Alabama

Alabama won the national championship last season.

The best thing about Alabama is pretty easy to determine, according to 24/7 WallStreet.

"Best: America's best college football program. The University of Alabama has won 17 national football championships, including the 2017 title, and is No. 1 again this year," the site said in a recent listing.

The worst? That one is one that might surprise you.

24/7 Wall Street looked at the best and worst thing about each state. The determinations - while mostly subjective - were also based on data sets and other state facts.

For Alabama, the worst thing was the lack of public transit:

"Worst: nobody walks anywhere Just 1.2 percent of Alabamians walk to work, the lowest rate in the country, and less than half the national rate."
