“Across the biggest cities in the state, there are over 300 bars and clubs per 100,000 people, alongside having approximately 58,600 civic organizations to join,” according to the study.
The metrics used to determine the social status of states were the number of bars and clubs per 100,000 people, the number of sporting and music events, the number of civic and volunteering population and the average time per day spent on social events.

“People need communities, and a good way to meet people and help your local area is through something like volunteering,” said QR Code Generator CEO Marc Porcar. “There has been much recent talk of the importance of third places- ones where residents can hang out with one another, usually without spending any or much money- in the media recently, and it is important for local authorities to help citizens be social away from social media and technology.”
