Interestingly, Washington is the “best state to live” in the United States, according to the third annual Best States rankings from US News.

The list determined that Washington, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Utah, and Vermont are the best US states while Mississippi and Alabama are the worst.

However, Washington did not rank best among any of the factors evaluated, with Massachusetts having the best education; Colorado having the best economy; Hawaii having the best health care; Oregon having the best infrastructure; but had consistently high rankings in several factors.

The list factored in US states’ economy, education, health care, infrastructure, public safety, opportunities for residents and the fiscal stability of its state government, among other factors.

Alabama, ranked 49th, was determined to have the worst education system, and Mississippi, ranked 48th overall was determined to have the worst health care. The top 10 states were: Washington state; New Hampshire; Minnesota; Utah; Vermont; Maryland; Virginia; Massachusetts; Nebraska and Colorado.
