After two years as the 42^nd best state in the U.S., Michi­gan slipped to 43^rd in the annu­al analy­sis from U.S. News & World Report released on Tues­day.

Com­ing in just ahead of Arkansas and Alaba­ma, Michi­gan was the only Mid­west state ranked in the bot­tom 10, which also includ­ed Louisiana, Alas­ka, Mis­sis­sip­pi, New Mex­i­co, West Vir­ginia, Okla­homa, and Penn­syl­va­nia.

“First launched in 2017, the Best States rank­ings assess the 50 states across eight cat­e­gories: health care, edu­ca­tion, nat­ur­al envi­ron­ment, oppor­tu­ni­ty, econ­o­my, crime and cor­rec­tions, infra­struc­ture and fis­cal sta­bil­i­ty,” using a total of 71 met­rics for the analy­sis, accord­ing to the news site.

In every cat­e­go­ry with the excep­tion of health care and oppor­tu­ni­ty, the Great Lakes State ranked in the bot­tom half nation­al­ly, but it’s worst rank­ing came from its 45^th place fin­ish for edu­ca­tion.
