Each state in the U.S. is unique in its own special way, but some might offer a better quality of life than others, statistically speaking.

This list, created based on a U.S. News study, ranks the 12 best states based on health care, education, economy, infrastructure, opportunity, fiscal stability, crime & corrections and the natural environment.

The number one spot should come as no shocker, as it was ranked best state for the second year in a row.
