This is where the most attractive Americans live, according to a new study
The data looks at metrics such as the number of Miss USA queens and PEOPLE 's Sexiest Man Alive winners, lingerie models, and exercise and obesity rates to rank the 50 states according to the "beauty" of its residents.
And, not a shock, the ranking names California as the best-looking state, and by a wide margin. Los Angeles, a place where perfectly symmetrical actors and lithe, leggy models abound, likely plays a large role in that perception. California also has the most Victoria's Secret Angels and Sexiest Men Alive honorees (six of each) and is considered a very healthy state with a strong fitness profile.
In second place is New York, which also has a lot of models per capita and many celebrities (although only three Sexiest Men and no Victoria's Secret folks). New York's connection to the fashion industry also ensures some good-looking folks are strolling through Manhattan alongside the rest of us mere mortals.
In third place is Hawaii. Surprisingly the state has the most models: 1.65 models per capita, which means for every person, there is more than one person's worth of super-attractive models. (We don't understand the sexy math, we're just here for the sleek jawlines.) Hawaii has zero lingerie-wearing Angels or hunky PEOPLE cover stars, but it does boast five Miss USA winners. (Tying for second, Texas has 10.) And when you team exercise and obesity rates, Hawaii comes out as one of the best on the list.
A few more takeaways: The state with the fewest models is Wyoming. The state with the best exercise rates is Colorado, and the worst is a tie between Oklahoma and Mississippi. Lowest obesity? Colorado. Highest? Arkansas.
Here is the list of the top 10 best-looking states:
1. California
2. New York
3. Hawaii
4. Texas
5. Illinois
6. Massachusetts
7. Alaska
8. New Jersey
9. Utah
10. Connecticut

World's richest tennis star owns private jet and even offered use of it to Wimbledon rivals
World's richest tennis star owns private jet and even offered use of it to Wimbledon rivals Jessica Pegula is the daughter of a billionaire businessman and is set to inherit a fortune, while already enjoying luxuries such as a private jet and a superyacht Wimbledon star Jessica Pegula is the heiress to a multi-billion pound fortune (Image: Getty Images ) While tennis players are no strangers to enjoying the finer things in life, Jessica Pegula's riches put her on an entirely different level to most. The American, who is still yet to win a Grand Slam after being knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round on Tuesday, boasts a personal net worth of almost £12million. But it is the fact she will one day inherit some of her father Terry Pegula's eye-watering £5.6billion fortune that has earned her the tag of 'world's richest tennis player'. Terry's ranking as the 418th wealthiest person by Forbes comes from his ventures in the oil and gas industry, while the billionaire magnate also owns sporting giants Buffalo Bills (NFL) and Buffalo Sabres (NHL). A £58m superyacht and a private jet are among the family's lavish luxuries, which Pegula also uses. However, the world No. 3 tennis star doesn't keep those luxuries solely to herself, as shown by her incredibly selfless gesture to let her fellow finalists use her jet at Austin's ATX Open in March. There, the 31-year-old competed in the women's singles final on the Sunday, beating fellow American McCartney Kessler 7-5 6-2. Article continues below The pair, along with doubles finalists Zhang Shuai, Yue Yuan and Anna Blinkova faced a gruelling 1,263 round trip to get to their next tournament in Indian Wells, California. That would have involved a late-night transfer in Los Angeles or making long trips to airports in Dallas and Houston, which would have hampered their preparation for Wednesday's tournament start. Pegula stuck around in Austin for the conclusion of the doubles final, where Yue and Blinkova beat Kessler and Shuai 3-6 6-1 10-4, to fly all of the players straight from Texas to California, so that they could all make it on time. China's Zhang immediately took to Instagram to voice her appreciation for the gesture, posting a snap of the private jet and writing: "She [Pegula] could have left right after her singles final, but she is such a selfless and generous girl. "This message is not to show I took the jet, [I] just wanted to appreciate and transfer the love,' to which Pegula replied: 'You're too cute.' Content cannot be displayed without consent Jessica Pegula has suffered an early exit at Wimbledon (Image: Getty ) Russian Blinkova and China's Yue shared Zhang's story on Instagram and also thanked Pegula, with the former writing: 'Thank you Jessie for your kindness and generosity.' Unfortunately, all five of the tennis stars, including Pegula, suffered first round singles exits at Wimbledon this week. Pegula unexpectedly crashed out in the opening round against world No. 116 Elisabetta Cocciaretto, becoming the highest-ranked player to exit the tournament. Article continues below The No. 3 seed lost 6-2 6-3 in just 58 minutes, marking her only first round exit since the 2020 French Open. Pegula had been one of the favourites for the title and is a former quarter-finalist in SW19 but appeared to struggle with a knee injury, which was taped up.

This is where the most attractive Americans live, according to a new study
In our Instagram-obsessed culture, looks seem to matter more than ever before. Everyone's practicing their pose, tilting their faces to get the best light, popping a hip to slim the torso and using filters to remedy whatever nature gave them. And let's not forget the people in the background of your photo—if it's important to you that your vacation photos show well-dressed, attractive people around you, you might need to actually tailor your trip to go where the good-looking people are. Thankfully, there's a new study from TDM Agency to help. The data looks at metrics such as the number of Miss USA queens and PEOPLE 's Sexiest Man Alive winners, lingerie models, and exercise and obesity rates to rank the 50 states according to the "beauty" of its residents. And, not a shock, the ranking names California as the best-looking state, and by a wide margin.
