Study: Minnesota Best Place For Women In U.S.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- It may come as no surprise that Minnesota has topped yet another list.

WalletHub says the Gopher State ranks first when it comes to the best place for women to live in the United States.

The study compared data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, looking at factors contributing to women's economic and social well-being and women's health and safety.

After weighing each state, they determined Minnesota is the best overall.

According to the report, Minnesota is Top 5 in income levels among women, women's healthcare and friendliness toward working moms. An area of improvement, however, could be the state's share of women-owned businesses.

Massachusetts followed Minnesota at No. 2, North Dakota ranked third and Louisiana was dubbed the worst place for women overall.
