What Does Your State Do Best?
This 2024 report claims that "every state is number one in something." For instance, did you know that:
- Colorado tops the list as the most physically active state.
- Idaho ranks as the number one state for home ownership thanks to affordability.
- Kansas has the least number of poor roadways with less than 1% of roads considered unserviceable.
- Louisiana has the highest number of unmarried adults and thus is the best dating state.
- Michigan has the most golf courses and country clubs per capita.
- When it comes to high school graduations, Nebraska leads with an incredible 93.7% of students graduating.
- Pennsylvania has the most licensed hunters per capita, with 20 hunters per square mile.
- You can binge watch your favorite shows much faster in Tennessee, with internet speeds 50 times quicker than the national average.
