Kentucky vs Nevada
Twenty measures that tend to decide a move, side by side. Every figure is the same one the map shows, from the same source.
Kentucky comes out ahead on 10 of them and Nevada on 5, but that tally is not a recommendation: it weighs a difference in class size the same as a difference in house price. Read the rows that matter to you.
