WalletHub recently revealed the most fun states in America by comparing all 50 states against two key categories: entertainment and recreation, and nightlife.
From weather and movie costs, to the number of restaurants and amusement parks per capita, WalletHub looked at 26 metrics in these two categories, grading each on a 100-point scale. The greatest number and variety of fun and affordable options was indicated by 100 points. Some metrics, like number of attractions, were weighted more heavily than other metrics, such as number of fitness centers per capita.
WalletHub then calculated each state's weighted average across all factors for its overall score.
