utah is disgusting. the air in the salt lake valley is toxic as hell. literally the worlds worst. the water is tainted. the refineries are everywhere. the mormons run everything. no way is that top 5

IMO, Texas is buoyed by its large cities (Houston, Dallas, Austin/San Antonio) and if it weren’t for them, they’d be much closer to bottom 5.

The Northeast looks really good.

Further proof North Carolina is not the south (Alabama raised)

I didn’t expect Louisiana to be in the top half but dead last? Any Louisianans care to chime in?

This is potentially misleading.
I would prefer that each state get a score and that the color correlate to that score. The middle 25 states might have nearly identical scores. But based on this coloring, 13-38 appear to be very different.
Or #50 might be a lot worse than #49. But here their colors are almost identical.
Edit: math

Minnesota being number 6 for wellness that has physical environment at number two? K. Have they ever experienced a Minnesota winter or driving in Minneapolis?! Because that ain’t it.

honestly, if you grow up in New England and the suburbs of the NY tri-state area, the rest of the country feels pretty poor and under-developed in comparison.

Metro level data is far more meaningful than state level data.
People spend most of their time in their metro area, not an average of their state.

The difference between Minnesota and Wisconsin is interesting. As someone who lived mostly in MN, but a few years in WI, they are generally very similar, though definitely more beer, brats and cheese in WI. WI politics veered more right last decade or so. Not sure if that accounts for the difference.

Living in the south i get into debates with my coworkers when they talk about how California is and i bring up that we live in the least educated, most violent, most obese, and poorest part of the country. But „California taxes you so much“

Seeing Maryland at 8 tells me these rankings are BS

NH is only #1 because they play remora to Massachusetts. I mean, let’s be honest here.

I remember growing up in Louisiana and always hearing the reason we had the 49th worst public education system in the country (my mother was/is an educator) was because Mississippi existed. Mississippi is sitting pretty on this map.

I can practically see the blue vs. red government overlay matching this.

Live in 22 and have visited 5 and 12 and it’s for sure noticeable. The people alone seem to act different.
