Most of these surveys have several points such as overall crime rate, cost of living, air quality etc. that they rate. Each category is given points and the ranking is given according to the total number of points.
I lived in northern Maine for a while and have spent time in Vermont. You couldn't pay me enough to live in either of those two states. There are huge poverty stricken areas in both states. Maine is fine as long as you are in a little 20 mile wide strip along the coast but other then that there's nothing. Vermont is the same. There are little pockets of civilization, but there are huge areas where people live in shacks in the middle of nowhere.
Of course, as far as I'm concerned, the quality of life in any state that has snow is terrible.
