(NEXSTAR) – What’s the best state in the U.S.? Most Texans would probably say Texas, but does the rest of the country agree?
According to a survey conducted by data analytics firm YouGov, Hawaii, the land of beaches and warm weather, takes the top spot.
Hawaii was followed by Colorado, Virginia and Nevada. But don’t worry Texans, we did make the top 10!
The survey polled 1,211 American adults and asked them to choose the better of two states from a list of all 50 states in a “head-to-head matchup.”
Sixty-nine percent of respondents said Hawaii was the “best state.”
The top ten best states include:
- Hawaii
- Colorado
- Virginia
- Nevada
- North Carolina
- Florida
- Arizona
- New York
- Georgia
- Texas
The bottom of the list included Mississippi and Alabama. Lastly, written in italics for its lack of statehood, is the District of Columbia.
