Illinois is below Kansas. I grew up in Kansas and live in Illinois. Kansas was worse. Illinois has big issues with its budget, though.

I've been everywhere...man...I've been everywhere.

Ok...not literally everywhere... but 27 states throughout the U.S. I've been most everywhere...seems like I've been everywhere.

AZ,CA, CO, DC, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NM, NV,, NY, OK, OH, SC, SD, TX, VA, WI, and WY,.

Imo, of all the states I've been,,,,,,Nevada is the best, because of Vegas....the worst is Kentucky, because too many people there are inbred.

California is next to last in opportunity. It wasn't when I moved there over 30 years ago. That could explain why my family and I are doing better than the newcomers.

I moved here a year ago, and compared to Indiana, California is swimming in an ocean of abundant opportunities.

CA is ahead of TX overall but then again, the "TX is better than CA" crowd seems to have gone silent.

It's useful to look at the details. For opportunity: This ranking measures poverty, housing affordability and equality for women, minorities and people with disabilities.

Housing affordability is terrible in CA in the major urban centers. So I'm not surprised at the result. But if you look at opportunity for LGBTQ people and others, CA is much higher than others.

I'm sure this is true in different ways elsewhere.
