MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted December 11, 2017 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/11/where-to-find-the-good-life/ Looking at the list of the states with the highest well being, there is not a common denominator. There are conservative states like Texas and liberal states like California. Low population states such as Maine and Montana along with high population states such as Texas and California. Hot states: Arizona, Texas and cold states: Minnesota, Montana, Alaska. There is not one common factor that provides the residents of a state with a high well being.

IGotWorms 3,310 Posted December 11, 2017 There does appear to be some regional correlation though. West to east Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted December 11, 2017 This is such an amorphous question that I cannot conclude anything other than that this is a nonsense poll. It comes down to fiscal health. Everything else works itself out. You either live there because you have no choice, or you don't live there. There is little doubt in my mind that the differences between the 5 categories is fractions of a percent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 917 Posted December 11, 2017 All of those states offer something unique though... And those things are probably at least part of why people choose to live their. And I think that's also why you see most of the mid-west scoring low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 11, 2017 Whatever state Drobeski is in at the time, thats the best state. Also the most mature state. We can just skip to the part where people circle jerk massa-who?-setts. Although I think Ed jr changed his backstory and is now from the south, so that could be a wrinkle.
