Methodology for Determining National Rankings

Wallethub based its rankings on a large variety of data. Some of the most important factors in determining which states in the U.S. were best for millennials include the following:

• Affordability
• Education & Health
• Quality of Life
• Economic Health
• Civic Engagement

Now while it may serve as a joke for some, apparently coffee affordability was deemed very important when it came to determining the best states for millennials rankings. One of the metrics in affordability was the average price of a Starbucks latte.

Honestly, I'm surprised that a joke about avocado toast wasn't included.
