**Post 850 (Yay, I'm only 200 posts away from half of Tails's Post count)**

I'm not Surprised why Florida is so low in the rankings for good things... Why is Washington DC up there?! You'd think the country capitol won't have you worrying whether a thug is gonna' run up, grab your wallet, then shoot you in the foot. :blink:

Health: Are you kidding?! There's a McDonald's about 200 Meters from my house. And about 15 Fast Food restaurants in a 3 Mile radius. The nearest GOOD hospitals are about 20 Minutes drive away, if there's no one on the road...

Best Place: Pfft. Florida is nothuing but a big tourist attraction to those who don't live here, and about 70% of those people who liver here are old... But not in every town like the people who don't live here think. For a state it's very cramped in most places, and when it's not there's normally nothing but swamp all around your house.

The only thing you ahev to worry about in Daytona... Is people who are driving hokme after spending all day at the beach watching wet shirt contests and competing in a drinking-contest and winning... They might smash into your mini-van with your family and grandparents in it anda Kayak on the top. <_<

Tampa... Eh... It's nothing but grumpy uptight people from the New England states that spent 3 hours on a noisy plane with an annoying Floridian who just came back from seeing the Sears tower and can't stop yapping about it. :mellow:

Out.

DC has the toughest ghettos in the US. There are really two parts of DC, The fancy, government and tourist part, and the surrounding ghettos.

New York, 33? wow, it's kinda easy to live here....

What do they mean by "healthiest" states? The lowest mortality count from overeating, bingeing, etc.?

The first of two numbers next to the states on some lists means that state's placement on the 2003 charts. The second number means the margain of change between the results from 2003 and 2004.

The factors concidered for the "Most Healthiest" list includes age-adusted death rate, suicide rate, infant mortality rate, sexually trasnmitted disease count, percent of overweight people, safety belt usage rate, estimated number of new cancer cases, etc.

Here's what's concidered as the guidelines for "Most Liveable States"...

Code:
 
NEGATIVE FACTORS
1 Percent Change in Number of Crimes: 2001 to 2002 (Table 27)
2 Crime Rate (Table 28)

8 Percent of Nonfarm Employees in Government (Table 185)
9 Electricity Prices (Table 204)
10 Hazardous Waste Sites on the National Priority List per 10,000 Square Miles (Table 218)
11 State & Local Taxes as a Percent of Personal Income (Table 291)
12 Per Capita State and Local Government Debt Outstanding (Table 303)
13 Percent of Population Not Covered by Health Insurance (Table 359)
14 Births of Low Birthweight as a Percent of All Births (Table 375)
15 Teenage Birth Rate (Table 376)
16 Infant Mortality Rate (Table 382)
17 Age-Adjusted Death Rate by Suicide (Table 399)
18 Population per Square Mile (Table 437)
19 Poverty Rate (Table 499)
20 Percent of Female-Headed Families with Children Living in Poverty in 2002 (Table 503)
21 State and Local Government Spending for Welfare Programs as a Percent of All Spending (Table 506)
22 Percent of Households Receiving Food Stamps (Table 531)
23 Deficient Bridges as a Percent of Total Bridges (Table 547)
24 Highway Fatality Rate (Table 550)
25 Fatalities in Alcohol-Related Crashes as a Percent of All Highway Fatalities (Table 557)

POSITIVE FACTORS

26 Per Capita Gross State Product (Table 93)
27 Percent Change in Per Capita Gross State Product: 1997 to 2001(Adjusted to Constant Dollars) (Table 94)
28 Per Capita Personal Income (Table 97)

35 Books in Public Libraries Per Capita (Table 153)
36 Per Capita State Art Agencies’ Legislative Appropriations (Table 154)
37 Average Weekly Earnings of Production Workers on Manufacturing Payrolls (Table 161)
38 Job Growth:  2002 to 2003 (Table 176)
39 Normal Daily Mean Temperature (Table 232)
40 Percent of Days That Are Sunny (Table 233)
41 Homeownership Rate (Table 424)
42 Domestic Migration of Population: 2002 to 2003 (Table 481)
43 Marriage Rate (Table 487)
44 Percent of Eligible Population Reported Voting (Table 498)


LMAO! Sinow lives in the second most dangerous city in the world, LOL! ::gets thuged by Sinow:: o_O;

Hey, when an outsider thinks of New Jersey... what do they think of? Chances are, it's our "so-called" highly polluted highways. Upstate New Jersey is concidered a dump, as the highway is cluttered with surrounding factories. I remember playing Gex for PS1 back in the day, and he was in a polluted, dark level.. and he said, "so this is New Jersey..." (what a smart ass). Anyway, next time I hear that remark, WHAM!, I'll show 'em this list. NJ is #11 out of 50.... so we're in the top 25%! :lol:

This topic is getting kinda old, but I just had to reply. MY STATE IS THE BEST OF ALL STATES!!!! No, wait, nm, I guess it's second best.... to live in. Well, still thats pretty good right? Even though it was mentioned on neither the most dangerous cities or the safest cities, pretty cool thats its the second best state to live in, and fifth healthiest. That averages out to Minnesota being the best state! So ha!

They are right, NC does suck. Im from NY, lol...:P
Wow, well, we all know in Missisippi there is some kind of devolving there...everyone is fat, stupid, neanderthalic (and many more marriage issues)...and if you are not, I feel bad that you live with those who are. In Miss., the marriage thing from the SoUE Movie is NORMAL! >_>;;
O, well...Ive been to many of those dangerous cities actually oO didn't seem bad to me, I suppose, but O well...I guess poor people in the census contribute to the statistics or something, like Tails' chart says.

Bah, but Minnesota isn't near any oceans... so that means to beaches... which somehow drops Minnesota from #1 to #48! lol... eh, forget it...

Yes, Mississippi, what an embarrasing place to live. They've got no K-Marts or Wal-Marts, but only General Stores. They've got no malls or concerts... but... uh... same-family marriages?
