SOURCES: Number of steel roller coasters by state.; Numberof steel and wooden roller coasters by state.; Number of wooden roller coasters by state.; Average Household Size, 2004 ; Livability Index by state. "To determine a state's 'Livability Rating,' each state's rankings for 44 factors were averaged. The scale is 1 to 50, the higher the number, the better. Data used are for the most recent year in which comparable numbers are available from most states. All factors were given equal weight. States with no data available for a given category were ranked based only on the remaining factors. In our book, data are listed from highest to lowest. However, for purposes of this award, we inverted rankings for those factors we determined to be 'positive.' Thus the state with the highest median income in the book (ranking 1st) would be given a number 50 ranking for this award." - Morgan Quitno Press; Percentage of children, ages 0-5, who are read to every day, as reported by parents.; Percentage of children living in neighborhoods that are supportive, as reported by parents.; Percentage of children who attend religious services at least weekly as reported by parents.; Percent of Households That are Married-Couple Families, 2004 ; Percent of Households That are Married-Couple Families With Own Children Under 18 Years, 2004 ; Percent of Households With One or More People 65 Years and Over, 2004 ; Percent of Households With One or More People Under 18 Years, 2004 ; Percent of Married-Couple Families With Both Husband and Wife in the Labor Force, 2004 ; Percent of Men 15 Years and Over Who Were Never Married, 2004 ; Percent of Women 15 Years and Over Who Were Never Married, 2004 ; Number of eating and drinking venues by state.; Estimated sales revenue for all shopping centers, in US dollars.; New shopping centers added from 2004 to 2005.
