Illinois Is Most American State, Florida Fails To Match
A Washington Post analysis by Lenny Bronner finds Illinois the most representative state for the nation across race, religion, income and education. Florida ranks highly only when all variables are weighed equally. Illinois edges it when race and religion dominate. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri also appear near the top, while Alaska Hawaii Utah and D.C. are outliers. The study compares states to the nation and to each other using 30 variables and six similarity indexes.
