Top 5 in "Economic Health" are red states. But my guess is all we'll hear about from those states for this election is how bad the economy is. Economic Health is defined as:

> Unemployment Rate: Double Weight (~4.30 Points)
> Underemployment Rate: Half Weight (~1.08 Points)
> Change in Nonfarm Payrolls (2021 vs. 2020): Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Change in Total Civilian Labor Force (2021 vs. 2020): Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Increase in Ratio of Full-Time Jobs to Part-Time Jobs (2020 vs. 2019): Half Weight (~1.08 Points)
> Median Annual Household Income Adjusted for Cost of Living: Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Growth in State Personal Income (2021 vs. 2020): Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Government Surplus/Deficit per Capita: Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Unfunded Public Pension Plans per Capita: Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Share of Uninsured Population: Half Weight (~1.08 Points)
> Share of Population in Poverty: Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Foreclosure Rate: Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Growth in Number of Businesses (2020 vs. 2019): Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Fiscal Health: Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
> Building-Permit Activity: Full Weight (~2.15 Points)
