Best State Rankings

Measuring outcomes for citizens using more than 70 metrics.

Some states shine in health care. Some soar in education. Some excel in both – or in much more. The Best States ranking of U.S. states draws on thousands of data points to measure how well states are performing for their citizens. In addition to health care and education, the metrics take into account a state’s economy, its roads, bridges, internet and other infrastructure, its public safety, the fiscal stability of state government, and the opportunity it affords its residents.

More weight was accorded to some state measures than others, based on a survey of what matters most to people. Health care and education were weighted most heavily. Then came state economies, infrastructure, and the opportunity states offer their citizens. Fiscal stability followed closely in weighting, followed by measures of crime and corrections and a state's natural environment.

(Spoiler Alert: Washington is #1)

Fish on...

How can this be true? I mean with that bad ol' 206 and all those damn progressives with their self-sustaining economy and paying more into federal taxes than they receive and trying to clean up the environment. The nerve of such people.

No doubt they stole this honor as well as the election.

With Utah and Idaho on the list, color me sceptical .
I've been in both those places, beautiful scenery, ugly people.

Obviously some just don't fit in.

I didn't see the "racist/bigot" category.

P.S. Washington State was #1 in 2020, and 2019...#6 in 2018, and #5 in 2017.

Meanwhile Biden's dog bites staffer.

Put it down.

The dog, that is.

I personally have never liked, nor have trusted any German shepherd and never will. Doesn't surprise me at all that this one bit someone, seeing how it was a wack-a-doodle rescue dog. It was messed up in the head to begin with. Again, the dog, that is.

And Biden is giving prisoners stimulus checks, just like Trump did last year.
Oh the fvckin outrage.

When I went used dog shopping for my kids when they were little, my first criterion was that the muzzle had to be smaller than my kids' heads. Second, the dog had to be chill.

Biden can't even remember his own staff's names.

I hope AVXL finds a cure to his forgetfulness quickly.

Why are you so obsessed with Biden?

Got to give Inslee some credit. Louisiana dead last LOL.

Not defending Biden, but didn't Trump forget the facts about most every subject on a daily basis.

forget them? he never knew them in the first place.

I was talking about Biden's dog.

You know the great rescue dog.

People that get rescue dogs and horses are truly mental morons.

Surprise.

Are divorced single moms in the same category?

Spot on!

That was damn funny.
