About the data

US Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-Year Estimates for population, income, education, density, and age. Tax burden: Tax Foundation, Facts & Figures 2026, Table 2 (State-Local Tax Burdens, Calendar Year 2022). Neither dataset says which state is “better” to live in — that's the comment section's job.
