Each category got an overall rank by averaging about a dozen different metrics. The entertainment category looked at factors like number of attractions, ideal weather, and restaurants per capita.

The nightlife category took into account things like time of last call at bars, the average beer and wine price, and movie costs.

Coming in 43rd overall, the Constitution State ranked 40 in entertainment and recreation and 50 in nightlife.
