The state was placed 36th out of the 50 states, making it the 15th lowest-rated state in the country.

The rankings were determined by analyzing thousands of data points across multiple categories, including states’ economies, infrastructure, public safety, natural environment, opportunities, and government fiscal stability.

Some categories were given more importance in the rankings, with health care and education receiving the most weight, followed by economies, infrastructure, and opportunities.
