LawnStarter's Quality of Life Index for Tennessee

National State Report / National City Report


Report Findings and Summary


Tennessee is in 44th place on LawnStarter’s 2015 Quality of Life Index for the 50 states.

The index is based on six quality-of-life factors analyzed by LawnStarter and borrowed from The Economist -- GDP (economic output) per capita, average life expectancy, divorce rate, unemployment rate, geographic location (latitude) and male-female income equality. The Economist considers these factors to be good barometers for quality of life.

Tennessee’s geographic location and male-female income equality are its best assets on our index, with the state’s scores in other categories dragging down its overall ranking.

“Tennessee boasts some of the lowest housing prices in the United States, and your dollar will stretch further here than almost anywhere else in the country. And there’s plenty here to amuse and entertain you, from our legendary music and arts to our stunning scenery to the endless options for outdoor recreation,” according to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.
