When it comes down to choosing your next and hopefully permanent place to live, there is a lot to take into consideration. For instance, you worry about how the economy will stand out, how the education system is, what the weather will be year round, and how safe it is to live there.
That's why WalletHub did the dirty work for you and ranked all 50 states based on several factors, including affordability, economy, education and health, quality of life, and safety! Each was ranked on a 20-point scale. Here is Virginia stacked up in each of the categories:
- Affordability | 18
- Economy | 13
- Education and Health | 19
- Quality of Life | 19
- Safety | 10
Not bad, Virginia, not bad – in fact, it's great!
Coming in ahead of Virginia were Massachusetts (No. 1), Minnesota (No. 2), New Hampshire (No. 3), New Jersey (No. 4), Colorado (No. 5), and Wisconsin (No. 6).
What's the best part about Virginia? Virginia is for lovers! Even our animal population is known for being "lovers" – Loggerhead turtles just laid eggs on the North End side of Virginia Beach. and the Virginia Zoo welcomed several babies in recent weeks!
And, if you don't already think this state is great, Virginia ranked Budweiser as the "most popular" beer, showing that Virginians do love a good cheap drink!
