We are also taking reader suggestions for state-level story ideas. Take a look at our daily tracking metrics and let us know in the comments section below if there are additional metrics for which you would like to see a state-level story.

You can get state data from past years in our State of the States interactive. We will be launching a new redesigned interactive with more data and cool, new features in late February, so be sure to check back for that.
