Determining which state is "better" between Missouri and Oregon is subjective and can vary based on individual preferences and priorities. Here are a few factors to consider:

  1. Climate: Missouri generally experiences humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, while Oregon has a more diverse climate with coastal regions experiencing mild winters and cooler summers, while the interior has a mix of oceanic and Mediterranean climates.
  2. Landscape and Outdoor Activities: Oregon is known for its stunning natural scenery, including its coastline, mountains, forests, and national parks like Crater Lake and Mount Hood, offering a wide array of outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and camping. Missouri has its own charms, including the Ozark Mountains, the Mark Twain National Forest, and the Mississippi River, providing various opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.
  3. Cultural and Urban Scene: Oregon is often associated with a more progressive and liberal culture, especially in cities like Portland, which offers a vibrant arts and music scene, a focus on sustainability and alternative lifestyles, and a rich culinary culture. Missouri has a different cultural vibe, with a mix of rural and urban areas, and cities like St. Louis and Kansas City known for their history, sports, and vibrant music traditions such as jazz and blues.
  4. Cost of Living: The cost of living can vary between the two states. Generally, Oregon tends to have a higher cost of living, especially in cities like Portland, whereas Missouri offers a relatively lower cost of living.


Ultimately, the decision between Missouri and Oregon depends on personal preferences regarding climate, natural beauty, cultural offerings, and other factors specific to individuals and their priorities.
