The 10 best states in the US to live a rich life
But a rich life isn't always measured in terms of dollars.
GOBankingRates used five factors in its state-by-state ranking of where families can live their richest lives:
- Jobs and income, as measured by median household income and state unemployment rate
- Housing, as determined by median home listing price and effective state property tax
- Lifestyle, as gauged by state tax rate, annual child care costs, cost of groceries, and school district grades
- Health care, as shown by average family health insurance premium and percentage of employer contribution to employee health insurance
- Safety, as measured by violent crime rates and property crime rates
Below, find the top 10 best states for families to live richly, and see the full ranking and methodology at GOBankingRates.
