I think you are oversimplifying.
Your conditions don't really account for Minnesota being #3 on the list. As a Minnesotan I'd proudly describe our state as high-tax, having an appropriate level of regulation (aka much more than Texas), community focused, with lots of interest in finding smart government way to fix lots of social problems. Just another way to get to being a better place for women entrepreneurs.
- yostrovs 8y agoNobody is moving to Minnesota, but hordes are going to Texas.
- nafizh 8y agoProbably, the cold has something to do with that.
- reaperducer 8y agoThis is true. I know at least a dozen former Minnesotans, and the number one reason they all cite for leaving is the weather.
- RickJWagner 8y agoYeah, that probably has to do with the population decline. But as for the rating, North Dakota is at #8, so I don't think cold weather is hurting that.
- exabrial 8y agoHave you even lived in Texas for a summer? Cold you just put coats on.
- tfehring 8y agoMinnesota's population has been pretty much flat, but the Twin Cities' population grew by ~7.4% between 2010 and 2017 [0]. That's much lower than Austin's 20%+ increase during that time frame and lower than Texas's ~12% overall increase, but definitely not "nobody." There are lots of Wisconsin transplants (myself included) thanks to Wisconsin's mediocre job market for white-collar jobs. And many of those transplants are engineers and/or work in fields like healthcare that have lots of opportunities for startups.
