Idaho is a fucking apocalypse like what? You do NOT want to live in Idaho unless you are literally a Nazi. Yes Idaho can be gorgeous, no that doesn't make it worth it.
North Idaho came up a lot during my time at the Southern Poverty Law Center, the storied civil rights watchdog where I worked from 2018 through 2023. The region seemed to have an uncanny ability to attract bigots from elsewhere in the country. But Leigh McOmber, a 57-year-old resident I met last summer at Coeur d’Alene’s annual Pride celebration, recalled a time when the area felt far more tolerant.
“When I hear people who have just moved here in the last few years talk about Idaho values being these horrific, anti-LGBTQ, racist, awful opinions, this is not what Idaho…was,” she said, reflecting on the decades she’s lived in the region. “It was never like that.”
Except all the politics are far right. Trans people can't use their bathroom that matches how they appear or how they choose, and women go to jail for abortions. This clearly dodges human rights or Idaho would not rank so high.

Guys I think that just maybe this could be a little bit... biased.

Florida being that high makes this extremely suspect.

Idaho wants so badly to be the middle finger state, but let's not forget the wrist, arm, etc. behind it, after all. 🤌🏼

Idaho coming out of left field, which is funny because they're on the left and basically just field.

A surprising number of them are suspicious. Utah and Florida being so high are red flags too

That's a good point, perhaps this is the answer if you're a straight white male lol

Wtf does "lifestyle" mean?
I really don't see how this can be any kind of quantifiable. You can't pay me to live in some of the places that are "highly ranked".
Jersey gets a 59?
And expensive-as-hell CA gets a 50?
