To come up with the rankings, WalletHub compared all 50 states in the key categories of “Entertainment and Recreation” and “Nightlife.” You can view the full list here .
The categories were broken down into 26 metrics, including number of attractions, ideal weather, nightlife options per capita, average beer and wine prices, movie costs and others, and graded on a 100-point scale. Analysts then gathered each state’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate an overall score, which was used to determine their ranking.
