Competitive how? (And driving like a lunatic on the interstate, while being a local blood sport, doesn't count)

The overall score is 10 (unless you count the two tied making us #9) but...

economic strength is 46

Banking kinda saved us because if you judged tied as being equal we can kinda be said to be #2 there

Education also brought us up

however
"Boston and Oxford are both synonymous with higher
education, but relatively few graduates stay there after graduating."

index score as part of north america we rank #4
