Looking at data of things like percentage of women living in poverty, unemployment rate for women, median earnings for female workers, women’s preventive health care, women’s life expectancy at birth, female homicide rate per 100,000 females and female victimization, Wallethub.com has narrowed down the best and worst states to be a woman.

Apparently the ladies are living the good life in Maine as it ranks in the top 5! Here are the top 5 states for women:

  1. Minnesota
  2. Vermont
  3. New Hampshire
  4. Maine
  5. Massachusetts

Looks like New England in general is a good place for women! Rhode Island is the only New England state not in the top 20.

The worst states to be a woman according to their findings are:

  1. Louisiana
  2. South Carolina
  3. Nevada
  4. Alabama
  5. Arkansas
