Massachusetts topped the list garnering 62.65 points out of 100. The state ranked first in “education and health,” fourth in “safety” and sixth in “quality of life.”

New Jersey came second, followed by New York, Idaho and Virginia. Southern states, including Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, filled out the bottom of the rankings.
