Nevada vs New York
Twenty measures that tend to decide a move, side by side. Every figure is the same one the map shows, from the same source.
Nevada comes out ahead on 10 of them and New York 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.

Bold marks the better figure where a measure has a better direction. Weather, snowfall and rainfall are shown plain, because warmer is not better — it is a preference.
