This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It’s not about cities, tho, it’s about the whole state (trust, there’s way more to Illinois than Chicago). Also, this isn’t just about the metrics of the map creator, it’s about studies of wellbeing in these states. It says at the bottom of the map what metrics it’s measured on.
