I found this very interesting. Just in case anyone is considering a move in the near future - maybe this might help in your decision. Even if you're not moving, it was interesting to see how my state ranked.

I am in awe on the states, coming from another country. Pity there is no legend, explaining the abbreviation of the different states ............

?

The states are color coded based on their grade. The grade legend is pictured to the bottom right of the map.

To know which state is which, click on it. Then it will tell you the state's name along with how they got their overall grade.

Ohio(B), Wisconsin (B-), Conneticut (B), Maine (B), and South Carolina (B-) are the highest "graded" states. However, glancing through some states are better at one thing.

It's very interesting to see how the grades "average" out. Ok...maybe that's the teacher nerd in me. Grading the States

California spends the most money on mental illnesses.
