There is an irregular publication called Freedom in the 50 States. It used to be put out by George Mason University, but someone else took it over lately.
Freedom in the 50 States ranks each states by various factors related to freedom. Broad categories are economic and personal freedoms. Issues are things like firearms, weed, taxes, asset forfeiture, and a bunch of others.
If you value freedom, then you might want to check it out. On the other hand, there are some caveats. Wyoming once ranked high in freedom and dropped a lot. So that means you might try to escape a place, but the troubles follow you. The other thing is that the federal gov has taken over so much. So Idaho does not mess much with people in northern Idaho, so the fed gov has a big presence. That, at least, is what someone told me about Idaho.
