PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – According to a new study from WalletHub , Virginia ranked as the 11th best state to live in.

In order to determine which states ranked as the best to live, analysts from WalletHub looked at the cost of living, housing prices and job availabilities. They also looked into other factors, such as health, safety and education.

“When deciding on a place to move, you should first consider financial factors like the cost of living, housing prices and job availability,” WalletHub analyst Cassandra Happe said. “Many states have strong economies, though, so you should also consider a wide variety of other factors, such as how where you live will impact your health and safety, and whether you will have adequate access to activities that you enjoy.
