      Top 10 best and worst states

      Best: 1. New Hampshire 2. Vermont 3. Massachusetts 4. Minnesota 5. Connecticut 6. Utah 7. Washington 8. Hawaii 9. Rhode Island and 10. Colorado

      Worst: 41. Kentucky 42. New Mexico 43. Nevada 44. Tennessee 45. Alabama 46. West Virginia 47. Oklahoma 48. Arkansas 49. Mississippi and 50. Louisiana

      I also posted this map on r/mapporn and r/coolguides a couple days ago but didn’t post here because of the rule which doesn’t allow posting topics related US healthcare and politics anyday other than Thursday.

      Would really appreciate feedback 🙂

      VT surprises me the most.

      Beautiful state, but it’s got Mass prices but without the Mass income.

      It’d be interesting to see it by county instead of state. I live in Tennessee and the difference you can find just by crossing a county line or two is insane. On a more extreme note, Memphis vs. suburbs outside Nashville, the difference is night and day. They don’t even feel like the same country. You go from highest crime rate in the nation to $10m mansions, country clubs, house boats, etc.

      no real insight unless you break down why states rank high/low (income, healthcare, etc). without that, it’s just pretty colors.

      I will never, ever believe the „happiness“ statistics about Mormons. Too many dead eyes behind vapid smiles..

      Texas under nothing but Republican control at all levels of government for 30 straight years…yet they have the balls to act like Democrats are ruining the state.

      i doubt Utah but maybe enough Mormons considering it the promised land bumps their numbers

    16. PutinBoomedMe on

      So weird. It’s almost as if you could correlate these rankings from bottom half to first half with another similar map

    17. norm009 on

      Can some one give me a reasonable explanation as to how Utah is that high in this ranking?

      As always, I check 4 Corners first on these maps to see how wildly varied it is. This one didn’t disappoint.

      These surveys always vector towards states that are very homogeneous, both culturally and, like it or not, racially. Having a „same stock“ population makes summoning better behavior easier, which maps out internationally as well (consider Scandinavia and Japan). The biggest societal challenge is getting a very heterogenous population to behave that way – for the longest time, the USA as a whole, has been spectacularly successful at that! A counterpoint to the „homogeneous“ hypothesis would be many „uniculture“ countries of the global south, and middle east, for example, where homogeneity doesn’t translate into well being. So perhaps other factors also play in. What do you think?

      Every single time I see a graph depicting some metric at the national level my state is continually right down the middle. Idk how I feel about it…isn’t that ironic?

    21. 510DustMite on

      This issue I have with presenting ranked data in this format is it portrays each step on the ranking as an equal step up or down in quality of outcome. In theory, while you might have the difference in overall well-being between rank 1 and rank 15 being incredibly close (say 100 and 94 “wellbeing points”), and the difference between 15 and 30 being significant (say 94 and 68 “wellbeing points”), you wouldn’t see that portrayed by this chart, they would be portrayed visually as similar divides (if that makes sense). I would be interested to see how this would look with the colors presented by whatever score they gave for well-being, rather than it being colored by ranking.

      So disappointed in Oregon at this point. They exact one of highest tax burdens in the country and it feels like we don’t get much back for that investment. All we do is elect different shades of the same dumbasses every fucking election. I don’t want some Trump cronies up in here, but damn we need some people with fresh ideas and some urgency here on both sides of the aisle.

    26. Something-Ventured on

      New Hampshire being number 1 on these datasets really implies a broken metric.

      No one in New England, especially New Hampshire will believe this data.

    27. Wonderful_Stand_315 on

      Wow, Florida is number 31?

      There is no way.

      How are you doing worse than Florida?

      Louisiana: „If I can’t be the best at being the best, I’ll be the best at being the worst!“

    31. Equivalent-Fun-5836 on

      Washington asks to have their ranking redacted. Popularity is devasating local communities with insane housing costs from the relocation if remote workers.

    33. EitherSquirrelMix on

      No way this data is right. I live in NJ and we have some of the worst water quality in the nation. On top of that our whole state is radioactive. Radon readings are minimum 2.5 throughout the state. Then there’s the air quality.. on top of housing, cost of living, etc. This place sucks. I can’t even afford to live in the very place I grew up. I’m stuck renting “luxury” apartments next to super fund sites so I can make enough to pay for it all while not having an 1 hour+ commute. Want a family? Good luck with daycare.

      Everyone sleeps on New Hampshire. All of these charts recently have sneakily had NH at the #1 spot (infant mortality it’s the lowest, lowest rate of STI’s, homicide rate is absolutely the lowest in the USA, income and opportunity are consistently top tier, and the criminal/corrections/law enforcement system is best in the nation. That doesn’t mean cruel cops, by the way. Quite the opposite.). Yet nobody seems to notice.

    35. Bear_necessities96 on

      Seeing this I still don’t get why people would move to state up north to southern states like seriously why?

    36. DanoPinyon on

      It’s as if every single one of these state-by-state measures in this sub is purposely sh—ng on the slave states.

    37. Worsebetter on

      Can someone compile a list off all the data that louisiana is the worst.

      All these maps are the same. Seattle sf Ny at the top. South easter in the crapper.

    38. jeo123 on

      Should have done a blue to red scale instead of blue to white/green and then put that next to an election result map.
