After a recent ranking from CNBC named Tennessee as the “worst state to live in,” a newly released study shows the state landing significantly higher on the list.

According to the new study from U.S. News and World Report, Tennessee falls in the number 25 spot overall, a drastic improvement over the previous ranking.

The report measured states in several categories, with education and healthcare weighing more than other categories in the overall score.

Here’s where Tennessee ranks in each category:

• Fiscal stability – 5^th 
• Economy – 13^th 
• Infrastructure – 17^th 
• Opportunity – 22^nd 
• Education – 31^st 
• Natural environment – 34^th 
• Healthcare – 39^th 
• Crime and corrections – 40^th 

The previous study showed that Tennessee failed most in the categories of crime, inclusiveness, and worker protections. 

Coming in at the top on the U.S. News ranking was Utah, with Louisiana taking the last spot on the list.
