New List Gets Confused and Says Idaho Is Boring
There seems to be a little bit of confusion when it comes to the state of Idaho. A few lists have come out placing the Gem State among the most boring states while others don’t mention Idaho at all.
So, who’s right?
Is Idaho One of the Most Boring States
I looked at 4 different articles that claimed to list the most boring states in America. They didn’t agree on the majority of the choices, but they almost all agree that Nebraska and Kansas are extremely boring. Both those states made the bottom 5 on 3 lists.
Idaho only shows up as boring on a list from Zippia, oddly as #1. So, if one site has Idaho as the most boring and none of the other ones mention us, it’s safe to say that the lone site is wrong. And I think I know why.
New List Says Idaho is Boring But They Are Wrong
The Zippia site clearly made a mistake, but it’s a common one. I think they confused Idaho with Iowa. Iowa is ranked lower on all the other sites, and we know that a lot of people confuse the two states. There's even a song about it:
That’s the only reasoning that makes sense, though it is funny that it says 'Fact Checked' on the top of the Zippia page.
We looked at data from Zippia (the ones who got it wrong), WalletHub, USA.Top.List on TikTok, and Have Clothes Will Travel to get the boring rankings.
