As someone who used to live in NC but no longer does because of the car dependence and horrible state politics, how the heck is it one of the highest ones? I didn't think the other states even thought about NC very much outside of election season tbh.

Known for naturaly beauty. Red enough for conservatives not to dislike it. But turning blue enough for liberals not to dislike it. Financially successful enough to not get a "Mississippi"/"Ohio" reputation. Hence, people tend to have nice thoughts about it.

Ohio has the 7th highest GDP in the country. No clue why you think it is a poor state
