North Dakota was ranked #1 overall.
But this is the best part, look at the categories and North Dakota's ranking:
- family fun: 13 -- truly beyond the pale. I cannot imagine the "family fun" in ND being this high -- #13; but then, SOUTH DAKOTA was ranked #1 for family 1 -- I assume buffalo riding and the STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY put the state #1;
- health and safety: 7 (if we keep the kids off the oil rigs, ND's ranking will improve)
- education and child care: 7 (about right, but most surprising, perennial #1 Iowa dropped to #13; #1 this year is New Jersey and #2 is Vermont)
- affordability: 6 (had it not been for the Bakken, ND would have ranked higher)
- socioeconomics: 2 ("everybody is the same")
