Out of the 5 metrics, New Hampshire is the sole best performing state in 2 metrics and is tied with Massachusetts for the 1st in HDI. While the top performing state for the remaining 2 is Hawaii.
On the flip side, Mississippi is the worst performing state in 3 of the 5 metrics, Louisiana is the worst in homicide rate and Georgia is the worst in air quality.
EDIT: Small typo in the Infant Mortality Rate description.

How’s Idaho and Montana having polluted air? Too many moose farts probably

I knew our neighbors generally suck.
Idaho’s air quality was the biggest surprise to me. Iw ould have expected them to be like those other sparsely populated western desert states.

There’s a typo in the Infant Mortality Rate infographic. It mentions homicide rates in the summary.

you can tell NH is a leech by how perfectly their stats match Massachusetts
subsidizing my lawless „libertarian paradise“ with jobs provided by a more progressive state’s stable and sensible infrastructure

Why do you keep changing which small states do and do not get a call out? If youre going to put the number over one of them at the very least keep it consistent between maps.

The air quality is nonsense on sticks — we have high quality satellite derived PM2.5 data, no need to grab AI slop that regurgitates whatever IQAir is doing. This is what the actual distribution of PM2.5 looks like:
Maternal mortality is also a rampant and increasing problem in many of these places too. You know which states.

And people argue with me when I say parts of America are like third world countries.

Really expected Ohio to be worse…

Can anyone explain why NH and VT have such divergent numbers?

Why does Malta, an island in the Med, have such poor air quality?

Why aren’t the dems using these stats (not in a belittling way) ad nauseam? Dems need to educate and not talk at the red states. They have a winning policy agenda, but they can’t seem to articulate it well enough.

Seems like Atlanta skews the Georgia stats favorably compared to other Deep South states across most metrics, but becomes more of a liability than an asset when you get to air quality lol.

I love how maps like this show that people shit on Jersey so disproportionately. Its actually a great place to live especially if you aren’t living in the city.

I like this. Really shows how diverse the US is. Often charts are individual European countries vs. the entire US while ignoring the fact that the US is the size of Europe.

The Human Development Index is just a horrible metric. If we could all just be more like Iceland and Norway, right? Globally, it is a statement of monoculture and wealth unsullied by diversity/poverty, with an impossible-to-compare set of equality-oriented policies. At the state level, it appreciates exactly zero specific challenges while celebrating exactly zero specific successes. Please, for the love of god, just stop.

There’s a typo in the infant mortality slide. Search the slide for „homicide“
Nailcannon on
I wonder how much of this is basically „intolerable climates have a worse quality of life“. Florida is an outlier because most of the population came after air conditioning was a thing. But excessive heat just has so many downstream implications negatively affecting life.
