Hawaii is ranked #1 at 68.7
-first, it’s kinda sad that 68.7 is THE highest #
-second, it’s pretty sad that 90% of the states score between 40-55%
-only 3 states scored above 60%
I really want to move to HI- BUT- it is super expensive all over HI so…idk.
I’m so tired of being stateside.
@heartless- were you looking into MI or MN? MN shows it being much happier than MI.

You dropped me two lovely statistical gifts today, and I’m realizing a few interesting statistical things about the place I want to call home; The majority of things are about average, with some spikes above average in a few good things, and a few bad things.
I found out for example the life expectancy is up against both the state and the nation which are both really good indicators for health. They aren’t way up, but you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere in the US where that happens without an associated concentration of wealth or a huge statistical cost associated, or both.
Wealth is average, very average. Not many billionaires, not much horrible awful poverty.
The kind of thing you see spikes in; cancer rates. You’ve got to see one elderly disease take lead, meanwhile memory related illness is low, as well as heart disease. Diets are balanced on average.
Look at the happiest place in the country; Utah. You know what Utah has a lot of? Arsenic, Salt and Mormons. Less water, caffeine, and existentialism. Michigan is rich in Existentialism, also water, gotta love a state with a lot of water. Practically no mormons, mostly European protestants, which are a different kind of…… I don’t have a word for what it is…. whacka whacka. It’s all just kind of Fozzi Bear to me, a silly dancing bear but I’ll play with it if it means I get to play the game.
