26. Wyoming

Wyoming is known for its beautiful landscape and national parks. There are enough outdoor activities here to keep even the most hardcore hiker occupied for a while. However, Wyoming's population sits at around 581,381. That makes the state the least populated in the U.S., ranking higher than both Alaska and much smaller Vermont. But that may just be what some people are looking for. Sales tax in the state is 4%.

Wyoming also doesn't tax income. So, if vast expanses of wilderness, mountains, and big blue sky are what you're looking for, then Wyoming isn't a bad choice at all.
