Taxes were relatively favorable in places like Wyoming and South Dakota in fiscal year 2021 - states that did not levy corporate or individual income tax. This according to a business tax climate score that tries not to determine how many taxes are collected or lists the state-by-state tax rates, but instead looks at the structure of taxes in each state in the United States. This is reflected in the four states of Wyoming, South Dakota, Alaska and Florida: These four states have the highest overall score, which comes about by a score of 10 - the highest available - for individual income tax and/or corporate income tax. According to the source, the lack of either of these two taxes reflects that these states have a competitive advantage against other states that do have this.

Detailed cost of living comparison between United States and United States

West Virginia and Kansas had the lowest cost of living across all U.S. states, with composite costs being half of those found in Hawaii. This was according to a composite index that compares prices for various goods and services on a state-by-state basis. In West Virginia, the cost of living index amounted to **** — well below the national benchmark of 100. Virginia— which had an index value of ***** — was only slightly above that benchmark. Expensive places to live included Hawaii, Massachusetts, and California. Housing costs in the U.S. Housing is usually the highest expense in a household’s budget. In 2023, the average house sold for approximately ******* U.S. dollars, but house prices in the Northeast and West regions were significantly higher. Conversely, the South had some of the least expensive housing. In West Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana, the median price of the typical single-family home was less than ******* U.S. dollars. That makes living expenses in these states significantly lower than in states such as Hawaii and California, where housing is much pricier. What other expenses affect the cost of living? Utility costs such as electricity, natural gas, water, and internet also influence the cost of living. In Alaska, Hawaii, and Connecticut, the average monthly utility cost exceeded *** U.S. dollars. That was because of the significantly higher prices for electricity and natural gas in these states.

They simulate model outcomes, under different levels and duration of interventions. The COVID-19 Simulator allows the simulation of different COVID-19 variant prevalence scenarios. The national and state-level analysis views and analyzes COVID-19 trends in the United States and in selected states, under different levels and durations of the interventions of minimal restrictions, current COVID-19 interventions, stay-at-home orders, and lockdown. The state-by-state comparison compares COVID-19 trends across multiple states under the interventions of minimal restrictions, current COVID-19 interventions, stay-at-home orders, and lockdown. The results can be visualized and downloaded on the website.

The State Cancer Profiles (SCP) web site provides statistics to help guide and prioritize cancer control activities at the state and local levels. SCP is a collaborative effort using local and national level cancer data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Registries (SEER). SCP address select types of cancer and select behavioral risk factors for which there are evidence-based control interventions. The site provides incidence, mortality and prevalence comparison tables as well as interactive graphs and maps and support data. The graphs and maps provide visual support for deciding where to focus cancer control efforts.
