#34: North Dakota

Best: North Dakota shines as a beacon of financial prudence, leading the nation with the highest percentage of adults owning savings accounts. This is a testament to the state’s culture of saving for future needs.

Worst: On a less positive note, North Dakota faces a significant challenge with binge drinking, topping the charts for excessive alcohol consumption among nearly a quarter of its adult population, which also results in the highest rate of alcohol-related driving fatalities.
