Researchers at WalletHub compared diversity across all 50 states, narrowing it down to several different categories, including socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and political diversity.
The results should not come as a surprise to native Texans that the Lone Star State would be high up in the ranks. WalletHub also reported Texas to have the most industry diversity, and one of the highest numbers of linguistic, religious, and racial/ethnic diversity.
California outranked Texas, however, by being named the most diverse state by WalletHub.
