I'm extremely surprised NJ is winning this. NJ has worse property/overall taxes than even Illinois. Let that sink in.
Because a lot of it is based on reputations. NJ has a pretty good positive reputation while Ohio has a real negative reputation. Plus, NJ is Coastal while Ohio is Midwestern, and Midwestern cities and states beyond Chicago and Illinois are automatically have negative reputations.

Really? That's news to me because in recent years I've been hearing more good press about New Jersey than bad; I hear their economy is doing good. Meanwhile, it seems as if Ohio has the image of Rust Belt ruin, dying population, lack of jobs and die hard Trump supporters (which I'm not).
One thing I disagree with you on, is that not all of Ohio functions the same way politically like NJ, NY or Texas. northern Ohio is more liberal and Democrat while the southern part of Ohio is more conservative and "clings to the backward Republican Trump-ite politics." In 2016, the counties in Cincy and Dayton went for Trump in droves while Cleveland and I think the Columbus areas went strong for Hilary.
New Jersey has the most corrupt politicians in the country.

Google "armpit of America" and see what turns up. It's not Ohio.
New Jersey. Proximity to the ocean, that's pretty much #1 for me .....
