One should probably disregard any report that tries to rank anything as hard to pin down as quality of life over entities as large and diverse as states. Even the smallest states in the US have wildly different quality of life depending on income and geography.
The large ones like California and Texas are practically like countries when it comes to how varied quality of life is within their borders.
It's better to look at specific metrics (health, education, housing, opportunity) that comprise quality of life. California excels at some of those for some people, and fails at some for some people.
