Best state to move to, after you write the weights

There is no best state. There is a best-supported state among the ones you would actually live in, scored on take-home pay, housing, and the life you will not trade.

Argumont is decision support. It is not tax, legal, real estate, or financial advice. Licensed work stays with licensed people.

Why rankings fail

A list that crowns a state has already decided that weather, or tax, or nightlife matters more than your job. You do not see those weights until you have already booked flights.

Pick two or three states plus stay. Attach current tax and housing evidence. Then score.

How Argumont treats it

Each state is an option. Argumont will not invent a winner from a blog table. Thin evidence can produce no strong winner.
