You know, in every survey, be it the best place to live, best schools, best economy, etc. I am ALWAYS seeing Mississippi at the BOTTOM of the list. It’s been like that for YEARS. What’s going on in The Magnolia State?
Just saying.
I’d much rather live in rural Mississippi than Barney Frank Land.

Yeah, me too. But in Massachusetts, if you wanna have Junior’s nuts whacked off to make him Juanita, you’re that much closer to Boston General — so there’s that.
What a perverse joke this “ranking” is.
ANY State ranking that has Mass. on top as the BEST is totally BOGUS.
QED
Deepest Plantation land that just can’t bootstrap itself to prosperity?

They have never forgiven what happened to Medgar Evers, I guess.
But seriously, MS is just one of those states the Deep State and its media sycophants love to bash.
I know a LOT of good people from Mississippi.
LOL!... Minnesota is #2???
Didn’t they like just ban Christianity from schools???
Cant teach there if you are Christian.
With ma as number 1 I can’t put much credence in the list. Children that grow up there mostly turn into massholes.
If the left has put it there, then it must be a great place.
Because seriously, MA and NY are #1 & 3???????
Poverty.
I came here for a laugh and it did not disappoint. Sheez.
That's the place.
The home of George Floyd, the patron saint of wanton destruction... defunded police... Omar... Emmer...
But like most states, MN has fine folks outside the small dense areas.
Can't speak to the actual quality of life / standard of living in most of these states (though I am aware of the anecdotal evidence / stereotypes concerning certain states - yeah, I'm looking at you, NJ!), but a casual reading of the criteria they have listed leads me to believe that, by and large, these rankings should be INVERTED!
BOGUS is, indeed, the best word to describe this list!
Regards,
Well, No. Dak. showed well so it’s a very curious situation.
I start off by ranking the States by Total Tax rate and then add in variables to describe quality of life.
In the near future, one might want to live in a State that produces more food than the residents eat.
Energy production v. consumption could also be a good parameter to include in any figure of merit calculation.
Raciss list
Speaking as a refugee from Mass, I can't agree more. (Born in Boston, fled in 1977.)
I hung out in Boston ~ 1967-1971.
It was just fine then.
“...For instance, a state might offer a low income-tax rate but have a subpar education system...”
Money does not equate to a good education system. Philadelphia schools get the highest funding in Pennsylvania but achieve the WORST results. Washington DC gets the most funding anywhere, same with New York City and have atrocious education scores.
The best place to raise a family is a place that has strong Christian principals, strong work ethic, charity and love. In other words, as far away from big metro-zombie Rat cities as possible.
