Got Potholes? See How New Jersey Ranks Nationally with Pothole Problems in America
Nothing worse than driving along and hitting a terrible pothole, it shakes your vehicle and makes your front end feel like it's gonna fall off. I seem to find potholes! Especially after I get a front-end alignment and a tire rotation, as soon as I get out of the garage boom! I hit a pothole!

I think many people here in New Jersey feel we could use some love for our roads, but where do we stack up nationally with "potholes" here in America? In a new survey, it appears we have a reason for concern because we rank in the TOP 10 worst states in America for pothole damage. In a recent Patch article, they cited a recent survey. "According to AAA, drivers pay an average of $600 every time they have to take their cars into the shop for a pothole repair. And, QuoteWizard's study shows that New Jersey is the ninth-worst state in the country for potholes."
"QuoteWizard came to these determinations by analyzing search data for pothole repairs and pothole-related complaints in the state so far in 2023. They combined them into a search index average for both states and individual cities." So let's see how the Garden State ranks in the TOP 10 worst roadways in America:
State | Rank | Search index average |
---|---|---|
Minnesota | 1 | 95 |
California | 2 | 80 |
Washington | 3 | 58 |
Indiana | 4 | 39 |
Michigan | 5 | 35 |
Missouri | 6 | 27 |
Pennsylvania | 7 | 25 |
Idaho | 8 | 24 |
New Jersey | 9 | 24 |
South Dakota | 10 | 24 |
So what do you think? Do we have a "pothole" problem in New Jersey? Here is what you had to say. We asked where are the worst roads in Jersey?
