Congrats on all our success, Hoosiers. We’re officially the ‘most average’ state in all of the land. Good for us.
Indiana is the most generic state in the country.
BusinessInsider.com just ran a study where they ranked all 50 states from the most to least AVERAGE based on 40 factors, things like: size, racial breakdown, marriage rates, education, health, income, housing, and technology.
The 10 most average states in America are: Indiana, Missouri, Oregon, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas, Virginia,Pennsylvania and Ohio. There’s a lot of Midwest in that list, huh?
On the other end, Hawaii is the least average state — mainly because its racial breakdown is so different than anywhere else. Only 23 percent of people in Hawaii are white, which is much lower than any other state.
The 10 least average states are: Hawaii, Alaska, California, New York, Utah, West Virginia, New Jersey, Mississippi, North Dakota and Massachusetts.
