    Where Virginia and Maryland rank on the US News ‘Best States’ list

    Virginia ranks 19th and Maryland 21st in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 ‘Best States’ list. Virginia’s infrastructure and economy, including high power outages and long commutes, hurt its ranking, while Maryland’s weak economy and low GDP/population growth are key drawbacks. Both states excel in areas like healthcare (Virginia, 9th) and environmental quality (Maryland, 5th).
