State Population by Rank, 2011
The following table lists the top ten most livable states in the U.S., according to 2011 and 2008 rank. To determine a state's livability
rating, each state's rankings in 44 categories were averaged by CQ Press. Some of
the positive factors included household income, homeownership, job
growth, and educational attainment. The negative factors included crime
rate, poverty rate, infant mortality rate, and unemployment rate. The least livable state is Mississippi, a spot it has held on the CQ Press list for nine of the last 10 years.
