The magazine evaluated all 50 states on a range of factors including education, healthcare, infrastructure, quality of life, economy, and more and determined that Iowa is the state that best serves their citizens. Iowa comes out on top for infrastructure and also lands in the top three for healthcare. It also ranks high for opportunity, which includes metrics like education and income inequality.
