There are endless rankings of the US states: whether they are the best places to live, the best places to do business, how much fun they are. Such judgements are made by economists, companies, and journalists but what do Americans themselves think? We asked people to choose the better of two states in a series of head-to-head matchups. States are rated based on their win percentage, that is: how often that state won the head-to-head matchup when it was one of the two states shown.
Hawaii, which is well-known for its beautiful beaches and warm weather, took the top spot by winning 69% of its matchups. With its scenic mountains, hiking paths, and recreational marijuana industry, Colorado took second place with 65% of matches won.

People are crazy. Hawaii is hell on white residents. Denver sucks for whites.
