Common questions
What is a “freedom footprint”?
It’s a personalized fit score across all 50 states based on how you actually live. Each statement you select — owning a firearm, caring about taxes, raising kids, supporting legal cannabis — increases the weight of the matching freedom category, then we re-rank every state for your specific mix.
How is this different from the best-state quiz?
The best-state quiz asks you to rate abstract freedom categories directly. The freedom footprint asks about your real-world lifestyle and translates that into the same weighting under the hood — a friendlier on-ramp if you’d rather describe your life than rank policy areas.
Where does the underlying state data come from?
Every state is scored across ten freedom categories using sourced data behind the FreedomRankings index — the same dataset powering our public rankings. You can switch the scoring source on the rankings page to see how the order shifts.
