Idaho is finally ranked the best in the country for something other than places to live.
According to a report by Move.org, Idaho has the lowest average utility costs in the country at an average for $343.71 for power, gas, internet, water and cable.
Idaho has the third lowest cost for natural gas and sixth lowest power costs. Internet average costs in Idaho came in 39 of 50 lowest, at $57 a month.
Hawaii and Alaska were ranked first and the second highest average costs in the nation, at $730.86 and $527.96. Hawaii was the highest due to expensive power and gas bills, while Alaska had the high average internet bills at $107.43.
Other western states also had some of the lowest average utility bills in the county. Utah was ranked second with $350.17, Montana was third with $359.03 and Washington was fourth at $369.18.
The report used national averages for cable and water since individual state averages are not available and multiplied the national usage rates for power, natural gas, and internet (60 Mbps) to the average cost per state to calculate each state average utility cost.
