Totally not surprising. Look at the bottom states- they’re all shitholes.

Anyone else live in top ten? I'm not sure I agree with education stats but my state is pretty great.

I used to live in MN (#3) and now I live in AZ (#34). I'm happier here in Arizona and it has nothing to do with politics or the "color" of the state.
And even the rankings measured in this article only take you so far. Like education, what you get out of your education has so much more to do with what you put into it than where you get it. The schools in our area still produce very successful doctors and lawyers and such and it's mostly about those individual kids and the support from their parents. Not the fact that they went to school here or there or elsewhere.

I take articles like this with many grains of salt.

Very interesting. I've recently been considering Washington State as a place to relocate. We like a coastal area, with lots of outdoor activities but within a drive to a major city. Bainbridge Island looks very enticing. Anyone live there?
