So the quality of life thing seems to be weighted toward more rural states:

Among the measures used to evaluate states’ natural environments are drinking water quality, air quality and total toxic chemical pollution per square. The ranking also considers how much each state puts its citizens at risk for long-term, chronic health effects from pollution.

North Dakota is number one on that list, California has 14 counties and four cities with populations larger than North Dakota.
