Wyoming's average salary is also $71,342, 13.6% higher than the national average.

The study went on to call Wyoming one of the most desirable, safe, and affordable states for folks to "relocate" to.

Ahead of Wyoming was New Hampshire, which ranked higher in healthcare (67/100) and violent crime (126/100,000) and lower in education stats (37/100) than Wyoming. Trailing behind Wyoming were Virginia and Rhode Island. The neighboring states of Colorado and Montana did not make the list.
