Last year I created the World Level O map for Tripgeo. This fun travel-tracking tool colors the countries of the world based on whether you have lived there, stayed for a while, visited, passed through or never been. You are then awarded a level based on how well you’ve “covered” the globe.
States I'd Live In is a map in the same sort of personal tracking ballpark. However on this map instead of coloring the countries of the world based on your travel experience the objective is to show which countries you would live in. Your preferences are visualized using 5 different colors to indicate Never, Reluctantly, Maybe, Willing and Absolutely.
States I'd Live in includes a number of different regional maps and individual country maps, where you can show which states you would live in within individual countries. In fact I became aware of the map because of the number of people sharing their maps of the United States. Judging from these shared maps, Democratic and Republican supporters seem to have almost diametrically opposed ideas about the best states to live in.
“States I’d Live In” also features a fascinating Stats page that ranks individual states, regions, and countries based on votes from all users. According to the data, Colorado is the most popular U.S. state to live in, while New Zealand tops the list of countries worldwide. The United States itself sits in 17th place, just below Portugal.
At the other end of the scale, Mississippi is the least-favoured U.S. state, and Djibouti ranks last among the 175 countries on the world map.
