Forbes.com has the gruesome details.  While they may have beaten us at this particular group of things, they can't touch Maine for our quality of life.

The article is titled "The 10 Most (And 10 Least) Innovative States In The U.S."

Massachusetts is one of the most innovative states. It came in 3rd!
