Strongest states in America
Posted on 1/25/14 at 12:35 pm

Quote: "Politico Magazine rounded up 14 different state rankings from reputable sources like the Census Bureau, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the FBI, and on important factors such as high school graduation rates, per capita income, life expectancy and crime rate. Then we averaged out each state’s 14 rankings to come up with a master list."
Top 5:
Overall rank (1 = best)
Rank
1. New Hampshire
2. Minnesota
3. Vermont
4. Utah
5. Massachusetts
Bottom 5:
Alabama
Tennessee
Arkansas
Louisiana
Mississippi
In 1931, a study done by Mencken and Angoff declared Connecticut and Massachusetts “the most fortunate American States,” and they deemed Mississippi “without a serious rival to the lamentable preëminence of the Worst American State.
What can be done to turn this around? Better education? Better government? Change in thinking?
Why have southern states ranked as the worst in America for many many years?
Not a flame, just trying to figure out when and how they can turn things around.

Came to post this. Not a single good football team in those top 5 states.

You could help the situation & at least spell Louisiana correctly.

Outside of Memphis is an awesome state. I hope to live there again someday.

Posted by graychef Better weather, food and women in the bottom five. Way more fun too. I'll stick to the bottom five, thank you.
Can't argue with any of those. These below zero temps in Minnesota SUCK! I also love southern food and women.
I just wonder what the rankings will be in the year 2100. Will things change? It seems like the south has so many things going for it in terms of weather, women, food, location, sports, etc.
