Must be flawed if IL is not in the bottom 10 -- Vienna_Hokie 05/14/2019 3:40PM
First ranking I can remember without North Carolina in the top 10. ** -- MikeVT85 05/14/2019 3:25PM

I have lived in 4 of the top 10 and 4 of the bottom 10 for more than a year -- psychobilly 05/14/2019 12:52PM
Not too sure about Washington at #1. Obviously they are not -- AZHokie59 05/14/2019 12:48PM
It loses all credibility with MD coming in #6 on that list. Maybe 46.... ** -- MilwaukeeHokie 05/14/2019 12:24PM

Not much controversial about LA, AL, MS, and WV being the bottom 4. ** -- Gobbler-100 05/14/2019 12:20PM
I can make any ranking I want by selectively weighing criteria -- Baltimore Hokie 05/14/2019 12:18PM
Yeah! I feel better because USA Today told me I do. Different strokes. -- RTFC 05/14/2019 12:01PM
No Cali in the top 10 is interesting. It's a beautiful state. -- King Jaffe Joffer 05/14/2019 11:13AM
Just get rid of the politicals and you got it. ** -- AZHokie59 05/14/2019 12:40PM
The bottom 10 are spot on ** -- OrangeHokieFan 05/14/2019 11:01AM
I know next to nothing about New Mexico. Why is it bad? ** -- VTSnake 05/14/2019 11:46AM
It's not. That was the one state I disagreed with in the bottom 10 -- MAHokie69 05/14/2019 12:18PM
Idk Illinois has a few things propping it up -- OrangeHokieFan 05/14/2019 1:19PM
Very rural, low population state -- fordham 05/14/2019 11:55AM
That would be a plus in my rankings ** -- radhokie1 05/14/2019 2:19PM

Shocking, you get what you pay for. That's not to say you have any interest -- jmanatVT 05/14/2019 1:25PM
Maybe a few of them, but MD, NJ and IL are glaring omissions. ** -- HokieNoVA 05/14/2019 11:16AM
Maybe if you choose things that don't actually matter -- jmanatVT 05/14/2019 11:42AM
Ehh...I find it hard to believe they'd list NJ 10 times ** -- JoesterVT 05/14/2019 11:07AM
I'd rather leave the country than live in 5 of their top 10 states. ** -- HokieNoVA 05/14/2019 10:58AM
I suspect a way too broad methodology -- WestyHokie 05/14/2019 10:56AM
