Using the following categories, CNBC ranked each state based on known government data and economic development marketing information.
Category #1 Ranked State in Category
Cost of Doing Business Iowa
Workforce Florida
Quality of Life Hawaii
Economy Texas
Transportation & Infrastructure Texas
Technology & Innovation California
Education Massachusetts
Business Friendliness Delaware
Access to Capital California
Cost of Living Tennessee
Note: California had two #1 ranked categories but was ranked #32.
Because California had the following rankings: Cost of Doing Business #48
Business Friendly #49
Cost of Living #49
Top 5 States according to this CNBC analysis and its highest ranking:
State Category with Highest Ranking
1. Texas Economy and Transportation
2. Virginia Business Friendly
3. Colorado Quality of Life
4. North Carolina Workforce
5. Massachusetts Education
Maybe we should evaluate and rank states based on their sustainability?
Or at least add another category on housing affordability.
