Tennessee vs Washington
Twenty measures that tend to decide a move, side by side. Every figure is the same one the map shows, from the same source.
Tennessee comes out ahead on 9 of them and Washington on 4, 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.
