WalletHub has just come out with their list of the Best States to Live In, looking at the 50 states based on 52 key indicators of livability, breaking them down into five categories - affordability, economy, education and health, quality of life and safety. With all that in mind, the site picks New Jersey as the best state to live in with a score of 63.01 out of 100. New Jersey ranks at number one for safety, five for education and health and seven for quality of life, although it does land at 49 for affordability. I'll point out that New Jersey is actually losing residents as the ones who have actually lived there have decided it sucked and decided leave for states like South Carolina which had a population increase of 10%, yet we're ranked as the 46th best state to live in SMH! You know what other states people wanted to escape? Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania according to the Census.
