We used 38 demographic, social, and economic indicators that cover several aspects of American life, mostly from the US Census Bureau's recently released 2015 American Community Survey estimates.
We looked at how far away each state was from the average of each of those metrics among the states and Washington, DC. Adding those distances together, we figured out how far from average each state was. See our method and sources here.
Here's all 50 states and DC, ranked from least to most average, along with some of the metrics for which they were outliers or average.
