Part 2 in a three-part series where I rank the U.S. states using a wide variety of categories and indicators to have a comprehensive ranking of the 50 states. This video covers the states ranked 30-11, part 1 will be states ranked 50-31, and part 3 will be the Top 10 and a post-countdown analysis.

Check out the reference video for the series where I go over the methodology and the categories being used for the comparison.
