Massachusetts is #1 State to Live in, According to New Study

One of the greatest parts about living in the United States is that you can move.

Yes, that is obvious, but it seriously is such an underrated and under-appreciated part of our country.

You can move from New England, where you get four full seasons, to Florida where there is essentially just one.

Don't like the taxes in Washington and Hawaii? Move to New Hampshire or Delaware.

Plus, the landscape across the United States is wildly different. You want mountains? Go to Colorado. You want a city, head to New York. More land and flat spaces? We got those states, too!

With a variety of places and different lifestyles and laws that come with each state, you can move to whichever state you see is the best. Again, an under-appreciated and underutilized aspect of the US.

Not all states are created equally, since they are all self-governed. So, some states are "better" or "worse" to live in.

Although, perhaps a biased question, "Which state is the best state to live in," WalletHub attempted to find the best states to live in using 51 key indicators of livability, according to a WalletHub article. "They range from housing costs and income growth to the education rate and quality of hospitals."

The results:

Massachusetts was the #1 state to live in the United States.

Massachusetts had the highest percentage of insured people in the state. And, Mass was tied for the fifth least hours worked per week - a huge perk.

New Hampshire also shined, coming in as the third-best state to live in.

Below are some of the stats that made New Hampshire take the bronze trophy in this battle of the best states to live in.
