These cities and states have the worst potholes, according to an analysis of Google searches by Americans who are spending $3 billion a year to fix their damaged cars:
April showers bring May flowers. There's no similarly catchy rhyme for what causes potholes to bloom on U.S. roads, but winter snow and ice are significant contributors. Both de-icing salt and the machinery used for snow removal do serious damage to our nation's infrastructure. AAA says that damage resulting from potholes cost American drivers $15 billion over a five-year period from 2011 through 2015.
The team ranked all 50 U.S. states and the top 50 U.S. cities; if you're expecting a list populated almost exclusively by the Rust Belt and states with poorer economies, the results may surprise you. Here are the 10 worst states for potholes and the cities that got them there, at least as far as Google searches might indicate — take these unscientific results with a grain of road salt:
8 - Tennessee Tennessee's complaints appear to be far less concentrated than that of other states'. Only Memphis appears on the list of the 50 worst U.S. cities, but the state still managed a pretty solid finish. 5 - Ohio Ohio is home to four of the top 50 pothole jurisdictions: Toledo , Cincinnati , Cleveland and Youngstown . Maybe all those rocks they're always singing about could be used to fill some holes.
