For generations, Georgia’s population growth trends and marketing campaigns have painted the country’s eighth most populous state as a generally great place to live. But according to a new analysis, there’s nothing exceptionally peachy about living here, all things considered.
WalletHub, a personal finance website that examines city and statewide trends, has published its 2025 ranking of “Best States to Live In” as a means of helping people itching to relocate pick the next best place to move.
Georgia didn’t crack the top half of best states this year, according to the study.
WalletHub analysts scored all 50 states across five key dimensions—affordability, economy, safety, quality of life, and education and health—using the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other sources.
Each of those categories was then evaluated with 51 relevant metrics, including aspects such as weather, recreational opportunities, and even miles of trails for biking and walking.
How’d Georgia come out? The No. 27 best state overall, per WalletHub’s findings.
Something peachy missing here? WalletHub
Georgia scored in the top 20 in only two categories: affordability rank (No. 18) and quality of life ranking (No. 19).
The Peach State scored the lowest (No. 41) in the education and health category.
The top five states were Massachusetts (No. 1), Idaho, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, respectively. (Frigid winters apparently weren’t considered too much of a detriment.)

The bottom-dwellers, meanwhile, included what could be called surprises: Alaska (No. 46), Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico.
A couple of random tidbits provided by WalletHub reps:
- Maine notched the fewest violent crimes per 1,000 residents—7.3 times less than New Mexico, the state with the highest crime rate right now.
- And next-door Alabama was rated as having the highest quality of roads—7.4 times higher than the state with the lowest, Rhode Island.
In more upbeat news, WalletHub in May scored Atlanta—Georgia’s most important asset (yes, we’re biased)—as the No. 2 summer travel destination across the U.S.

Two years after breaking ground, a high-end townhome venture near eastside golf courses and several historic neighborhoods has switched course to become a blank slate for redevelopment.
Called The Henderson at East Lake, the project by Atlanta-based homebuilder PLH Homes appeared set to replace a vacant ranch-style house on a deep residential property at 1936 Glenwood Ave.
The house was demolished in summer 2023, and site work kicked off, but the relatively large, modern-style townhomes promised in promotions never started vertical construction.
The 1.9-acre site—technically two adjacent parcels—came to market last week as a “rare” opportunity for another development team to finish, according to sellers LPT Realty.
The asking price is $1.45 million.
Per 2023 designs, how 13 of the units would be arranged off Glenwood Avenue, overlooking Charlie Yates Golf Course, should another developer follow through. PLH Homes/AD Designs; listing, LPT Realty
PLH Homes/AD Designs
The Parkview site is located between Interstate 20 to the west and East Lake Golf Club, overlooking the fifth hole at Charlie Yates Golf Course.
According to recent listings, the site is fully entitled for 21 luxury townhome units, and all plans including civil engineering would be included in a sale.
All townhomes would stand three stories with either three or four bedrooms and two-car garages, with rooftop terraces. (The first phase of units in 2023 called for four-story, four-bedroom options with a single-car garage and prices starting in the mid-$900,000s, per the homebuilder. Sizes at the time were listed as just shy of 2,800 square feet.)
Marketing materials describe the location as one of “Atlanta’s most desirable and rapidly growing neighborhoods,” not far from Oakhurst, East Lake Park, Decatur, and the Beltline.

The Henderson project “is ideal for a builder or boutique developer seeking a luxury intown product with strong resale potential,” goes the broker spiel. “East Lake is experiencing a wave of revitalization and investment, making this the perfect time to deliver a high-end residential product.”

After years of fundraising and behind-the-scenes efforts, the City of Atlanta is finally getting a proper tribute to local veterans of the Vietnam War who made the ultimate sacrifice, according to project leaders.
Construction is underway in Piedmont Park on a large tribute sculpture, plaza, and commemorative wall called the Sons of Atlanta Vietnam War Monument and Memorial Experience. It’s being installed near the park’s northernmost Piedmont Avenue entrance, just west of the Active Oval.
According to the Sons of Atlanta, the project will recognize 240 residents of Atlanta and Fulton County who were killed in action in the Vietnam War.

Those veterans’ names are “memorialized in the Georgia State Memorial Park across from the state capital building… in downtown Atlanta, and on the National Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington DC, but nowhere in the City of Atlanta is there a memorial with the Atlanta City Seal for these highest status patriots,” notes a project overview.
Back in early 2019, the Atlanta City Council adopted a resolution to establish the monument and memorial, working alongside the Atlanta Commission on Veterans Affairs and the 1118th Chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America. The Fulton County Commission followed suit later that year.
The latter 2019 proclamation noted that Atlanta “is the only major city in the nation that doesn’t have a memorial site for those killed in the Vietnam War.”
A commemorative brick campaign for fundraising is ongoing.
