In honor of Father’s Day, the website, Zippia, set out to find the “Daddest” states in America. They looked at things like: How much money dads spend on their kids . . . how obsessed they are with grilling . . . how popular dad jokes are in each state . . . and how interested people are in New Balance sneakers.

The result? The Midwest seems to be a great place to be your Daddest!
