A compilation of stats on where people are moving to versus where people are moving from would be informative to a ranking of states, I would think. As would annual ranking of places to live, etc.
NJ and NC beaches are both awesome, they're just different.
NC should be higher simply for having both a ton of beaches providing lots of variety and some (small) mountains providing scenery, wilderness and hiking.
Suck it, Mount Washington!BTW, NC has the tallest peak east of the Rockies.

So true. We've been at Topsail this whole week and there are Midwesterners errywhereSo many people from Ohio and Pennsylvania here, on the NC coast.
Just hiked a 14er. Colorado is far superior to Michigan, hence all the fucking Michigan transplants out here.
College kids save up all year to go to Spring Break in FL.
Families save up for years to vacation in FL.
The olds have saved up their whole lives to retire in FL.
Definitely higher than 50.
I live in FL and these rankings are dumb; it's at least in the top 25 somewhere. Gulf beaches are beautiful, fishing is great (fresh and salt), college and professional sports abound, public education system is decent, cost of living is not bad unless you just have to have waterfront. Winter/spring climate is wonderful. July through September is a humid horrid hell on earth, and we have a fair amount of crazies, which are, in turn, exaggerated by that Twitter feed. Still, no way it's even close to DFL.
