10. South Dakota

Look, South Dakota is not the toastiest place in the country. But the strong economy, fiscal soundness, low crime rate, and great health care should warm your heart.

If you're a loner, you'll have lots of space at your disposal and a sparse population if that's what you seek, but also welcoming village vibes if you're more social.
