That list is definitely wrong about Hawaii, imo. It's very highly rated for a reason. Usually in the top three or so on such lists.

Lists of the best states consistently have the mountain states, Hawaii, the Northern Prairies, and New England on them near the top.

More or less the Dakotas, Minnesota, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Hawaii, and Virginia on going to be high up any such list. Absolute bottom would be the Deep South.
