My state of Ohio is ranked at a garbage 39. But at least we are not in the bottom 10 and beat PA. Progress!

Illinois at 35.
I'd much rather live in some of the bottom-tier states like Alaska, Oklahoma or Arkansas.

Doesn't surprise me that MD is in the top 10.
Fuckloads of money + Dem leadership in a majority of positions in State and Federal level = High chance of success.
Utah and Nebraska are surprises to me though, I wonder what they've been up to?

If you enjoy a more rural lifestyle, Upstate SC is pretty great, IMO. There are jobs and lots of companies are moving here or expanding. Cost of living is low. I know things aren't as good in the middle and lower parts of the state, though, which is probably why we rank so low.
New Jersey (#12 overall) looking great for Healthcare (#6) & Education (#2) .
But it pretty much sucks for economy (#31), infrastructure (#34) and fiscal stability (#49). It's second to last with fiscal stability.
(AKA - taxes, real estate & insurance costs are all way too high across the board in NJ and you don't get much financial return on any of it.)

How the heck is California ranked 49 in "Opportunity"?
I get that real estate is crazy out there, but we're talking about the 5th largest economy in the world.

I'm guessing cost of living takes a huge bite out of economy.
yea but then you'd have to disqualify the entire northeast corridor
No surprise at Utah and Nebraska being the only conservative states being in the top 10. Very business friendly, relatively low cost of living, high employment and educational attainment rates, low crime, etc.
Been in Nebraska nearly all my life and its funny when people come to Nebraska on a temporary basis and end up staying because it really is the Good Life.
Shame there's no mountains or huge bodies of water, though. Only thing we really lack, imo.

We're number three!
Couldn't help but notice 8 of the top 10 states went blue in the last presidential election compared to 9 of the bottom 10 going red.

Absolutely agreed. Moving there in 2 months! I posted this thread and had no responses last night about how Washington is about to implement the nations first public option for long term caregiving!

Washington having highmarks for infrastructure is interesting. I always felt we were a bit behind the curve in regards to mass transit etc.
The Colorado ranking feels more accurate to me. The cost of living is getting out of hand and they're transforming the front range into a giant wall of overdeveloped shopping malls and sprawling suburban housing that all looks the same. Things could be a lot better than it is.
My state is #10, but should be higher. I wanted to live in Seattle since I was a teenager, but things didn't go as planned. Now, it sounds like housing costs are ridiculously high as is normal cost of living, and the traffic is terrible.
How the hell is Mississippi not the #1 worst state though?

Illinois being #35 isn't super surprising. Things get depressing quickly once you leave the Chicago metro* and even in the city, neglect and and institutionalized oppression has left big swaths of the south and west side depressingly underserved. There are great pockets, but the city by and large has some major problems.
My fiancée went to school in the Seattle metro and has been talking about moving back in a few years. I was adamant about not doing it a couple years ago, but I'm less hesitant these days. This past winter really wore me down and our last visit out there was great. We're going back in a couple weeks to see friends and I feel like the conversation is going to pop back up.
*There are some exceptions. I've heard Urbana/Champagne isn't too bad.

Georgia is 17 and seems way too high. I love it here in Atlanta, and Savannah is pretty cool, but the rest of the state is a red wasteland. Terrible traffic, bad public transit relative to other metro areas, crumbling roads full of pot holes, terrible heat, humidity and mosquitoes for like 2/3rds if the year etc.
There's some nice natural beauty I guess with the north Georgia mountains and some waterfalls, some nice lakes and some nice beaches on Tybee and Jekyll Island, but other states have more and better of all of that.

Western Washington is pretty cool. Can't say the same about living here in the eastern side. I mean the roads here in Spokane County are more pothole than road, and that's being pretty generous. If the coast wasn't propping up the state and keeping decent people in power we'd be a Mad Max hellscape within a month.
