The Bay State also reportedly has the second-lowest female homicide rate, the fifth-highest women’s life expectancy after birth, and the fifth-highest quality of women’s hospitals.
Minnesota was named the second-best state for women, followed by Iowa, Maine and Colorado.
New England states Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont ranked 8th, 9th and 10th, respectively. New Hampshire came in at 13.
