What Are Patterns in Infrastructure Condition? Looking at these statistics causes one to search for, and hopefully reach, some interesting ideas about how the infrastructure in various parts of our country has arrived at its current state. One can see that there are many different factors involved, and some of them are counterintuitive. For example, while cold, rainy, or snowy weather has a reputation of playing havoc with roads, concrete, pipes, etc., some of the states with the worst infrastructure include Hawaii and California, while Minnesota is near the top. Similarly, one might assume poor conditions for rural or less developed areas, those without big industries moving in with the need for new or re-paved roads, etc.
