Wallethub measured affordability, economy, education & health, quality of life, and safety to determine each state's respective ranking. As a diehard Texan, I sure hope we stack up well against "Commie-fornia".

Texas ranked 34th in overall affordability while California was dead last, at 50th.

Safety:

Well, with the populations of both Texas and California, it shouldn't be much of a shock that we're not at the top of the list. As a matter of fact, California is the 27th safest state while Texas is the 33rd.

Merely based on this report, from Wallethub, it would appear that California is a better state to live in than Texas. If that's the case, though, then why are so many people moving from California to Texas? We'll tackle that question soon.
