It's no surprise that a tropical paradise would score high on lists of the best places to live. Hawaii's gorgeous natural scenery ranges from towering volcanic peaks to pristine sandy beaches, and the weather allows for all-year enjoyment helping residents stay active and healthy. Locals also often cite the state's laid-back atmosphere and friendly, social culture as reasons they love it. If you don't work in the tourist industry, you may struggle to find a job here, and poverty rates tend to be fairly high. The crime rate is also a little higher than average.
