College prices in 2019 have risen to unprecedented levels. Even with the rising costs, young people are still choosing to go to college and are increasingly being forced to take out massive student loans to pay for college. Today, an estimated one in five Americans are paying off student loans which has contributed to national student debt past $1.5 trillion. Student loans know no geographical bounds, but some places have more than others. So which states have it the worst？

Earlier this month, personal finance site WalletHub released data answering just that. To rank each state, WalletHub created a custom score based off of 12 metrics. The metrics include statistics like a state's average student debt, share of student debt, and available student jobs, amongst others.

WalletHub provided INSIDER with a look into how every state matches up in terms of average student debt, the percentage of students with debt, and the percentage of students who loans are past due or in default.
