You can review the metrics that determine the ratings.There so much info missing from your data that the lists could be very misleading.
For example w/ wealth and party affiliation the question can come up as to who are richer, republicans or democrats? The list of 10 wealthiest states does not say if we're talking about the total wealth in the state or are we talking about the median income for the population.
Same w/ 10 most educated states. A state can't be educated, but rather it's the people who live there who get the education. Then we get into the kind of education --someone who gets a bachelor of science in engineering has to do a lot more work than someone w/ a liberal arts in community service. Women study the humanities and men study business and engineering (from here). Men vote republican and women vote democratic (from here).
