As of 2024, Massachusetts was ranked as the best state to have a baby in the United States, followed by North Dakota and Minnesota. On the other hand, Mississippi was ranked as the worst state to have a baby. The U.S. state rankings for best states to have a baby were created using ** metrics, which included key metrics like fertility clinics per capita, obstetrician-gynecologists availability, prenatal care access, and birth rates. The ** metrics were grouped under four categories — costs, healthcare, baby friendliness, and family friendliness.

In 2024, across all states in the United States, ********* was ranked first with a health index score of *****, followed by ************ and ************. The health index score was calculated by measuring 42 healthcare metrics relevant to health costs, access, and outcome.

Quality of life is a measure of comfort, health, and happiness by a person or a group of people. Quality of life is determined by both material factors, such as income and housing, and broader considerations like health, education, and freedom. Each year, US & World News releases its “Best States to Live in” report, which ranks states on the quality of life each state provides its residents. In order to determine rankings, U.S. News & World Report considers a wide range of factors, including healthcare, education, economy, infrastructure, opportunity, fiscal stability, crime and corrections, and the natural environment. More information on these categories and what is measured in each can be found below:

Healthcare includes access, quality, and affordability of healthcare, as well as health measurements, such as obesity rates and rates of smoking. Education measures how well public schools perform in terms of testing and graduation rates, as well as tuition costs associated with higher education and college debt load. Economy looks at GDP growth, migration to the state, and new business. Infrastructure includes transportation availability, road quality, communications, and internet access. Opportunity includes poverty rates, cost of living, housing costs and gender and racial equality. Fiscal Stability considers the health of the government's finances, including how well the state balances its budget. Crime and Corrections ranks a state’s public safety and measures prison systems and their populations. Natural Environment looks at the quality of air and water and exposure to pollution.

This statistic shows a ranking of the U.S. states based on long-run solvency index in the fiscal year of 2016. The long-run solvency index is the sum of the standardized values of the net asset ratio, long-term liability ratio, and long-term liability per capita. In the fiscal year of 2016, Nebraska was ranked first in the list with an index score of 10.98.

This statistic shows a ranking of the best U.S. federal states to live in, according to selected metrics and based on a survey among more than 530,000 Americans. The survey was conducted between January 2011 and June 2012. The findings are presented as index scores composed of the scores regarding various parameters*. According to this index, Utah is the city with the highest liveability and life quality, as it scored 7.5 points.

About this dataset

Welcome to the U.S. News & World Report's 2017 National Universities Rankings, a comprehensive dataset of over 1,800 schools across the United States providing quality data on admissions criteria, cost of tuition and fees, enrollment numbers, and overall rankings! Here you'll find up-to-date information on institutes of higher learning from Princeton University at the top spot in Best National Universities to Williams College at No. 1 on the Best National Liberal Arts Colleges list.

This collection of data is all that's needed for potential students - parents, counselors and more - to evaluate their choices in selecting a college or university that perfectly meets their needs. For instance: what is the total tuition & fees cost? What are student enrollment numbers? How have students rated this school? Which universities have been recognized as top institutions in academics by U.S. News & World Report? What admissions criteria do these schools evaluate when considering an applicant's profile? The answers lie within this dataset!

Explore each category separately as well as with other considerations through visuals like our scatter plot to get an inside look into collegiate education from enrollment patterns charted against yearly expenses including room & board charges without forgetting several crucial factors such as six-year graduation rates and freshman retention rates measured among nations' universities included here -allowing for comparison and assessment beforehand for a well-rounded experience such that you can find your own path ahead!

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains information on the quality, tuition, and enrollment data of 1,800 U.S.-based universities ranked by U.S. News & World Report from 2017. It includes rankings from the National University and Liberal Arts College lists in addition to relevant data points like tuition fees and undergraduate enrollments for each school.

Users can take advantage of this dataset to build models that predict ranking or predicting cost-benefit results for students by using cost-related (tuition) metrics along with quality metrics (rankings). Alternatively users can use it to analyze trends between investments in higher education versus outcomes (ranking), or explore the relationship between enrollments for schools of varying rank tiers, etc...

For more information on how rankings are calculated please refer to this methodology explainer on U.S news website

Here is an overview of all columns included in this dataset:

Columns:Name - institution name,Location - City and state where located,Rank - Ranking according to U.S News & World Report ,Description - Snippet of text overview from U.S News ,Tuition and fees – Combined tuition and fees for out–of–state students ,In–state – Tuition and fees for in–state students ,Undergraduate Enrollment – Number of enrolled undergraduate students .

Using this column detail as a guide we can answer questions like ‘which colleges give highest ROI ?’ or ‘Which college has highest number undergraduates?’ . For statistical analysis such as correlation we may use a visual representation such as a scatter plots or bar graphs accordingly making it easier analyses trends found within our dataset ans well as exploring any relationships between different factors such us tuitions vs ranks

Research Ideas

• Developing a searchable database to help high school students identify colleges that match their criteria in terms of tuition, graduation rate, location, and rank.
• Identifying correlations between enrollment numbers and university rank in order to better understand how the number of enrolled students effects the overall ranking of a university.
• Comparing universities with similar rankings in order to highlight differences between programs’ tuition and fees as well as retention rates
