You Like Me, You Really Like Me!
Oregon does well in another popularity contest.
A recent research index puts Oregon as the nation’s 5th most appealing state to U.S. citizens, and 11th most appealing to international respondents.
The Anholt State Brands Index compiled the responses of 9,000 U.S. citizens and 12,000 foreigners on the question of which state they’d most like to live in. The poll considered the perceptions of tourism, governance, exports, people, culture/heritage, and investment/immigration.
Here are the Top Five most appealing states, as ranked by U.S. citizens:
- North Carolina
- Virginia
- Florida
- Colorado
- Oregon
Interestingly, neither North Carolina or Virginia made the top 5 in the international responses. California and Florida go 1-2 in the international poll (the DisneyLand/World effect?).
Oh…..New Jersey brings up the rear at number 50.
