Kathleen, who has served in a number of media and legislative liaison positions within the US Department of Transportation, and Scott, an attorney who works with Republican electoral campaigns, have been compiling state and city rankings for nearly two decades now. Here they rank states on statistics in 15 areas, among them agriculture, education, energy and environment, households and housing, social welfare, and transportation. For each quantity, the states are listed first alphabetically then by rank, and the national total or average is included. A sample of tables shows acres of corn harvested, personal bankruptcy rate, coal production, and population lacking access to primary health care in 2011. An index is provided to find such detailed measures. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
