Stats like the most recent crime violent crimes, cyber crimes, and of course the always-hated gonorrhea and cyphilis stats (no, seriously), were all compiled based on population, and the top states in many different categories (safety, danger, cleanliness, etc) were listed -- 3 New England states routinely popped up in all of the positive ones!
So, big ups (on not being violent scumbags or having diseases where you pee) to NH, Maine, and Vermont!
