If Virginia had better access to health care, it would have come out on top. The state is ranked number one for the quality of life and third for economic environment. Virginia’s technology industry is booming, and it’s the fourth most popular state for tech jobs. The internet speed is off the charts, and it’s a great state for starting a business.

However, Virginians aren’t the healthiest, as nearly 30% of the state’s population between the ages of 10 and 17 are overweight or obese. But a visit to the beautiful Blue Range Mountains or the Appalachian Mountains will do your soul good.
