If given the choice of living in any state, most Americans would choose California, followed by Hawaii and Florida, a recent Harris poll has found.
When asked what city they would choose to live in, most Americans pegged New York City as the place they most desire to live in or near.
The poll was a nationwide survey of 3,685 adults conducted in August 2006. Florida was followed by North Carolina coming in at No. 4, Texas at No. 5, Washington at No. 6, Colorado at No. 7, New York at No. 8, Arizona at No. 9, Oregon at No. 10, Tennessee at No. 11, Virginia at No. 12, Georgia at No. 13, Pennsylvania at No. 14 and Montana at No. 15.
Seven of the 15 states listed in the poll were in the West and six of them were in the South. The only other states represented were the mid-Atlantic states of New York and Pennsylvania. There were no states from the Midwest or Northeast in the top 15.
 
Following New York City as the top U.S. city people would choose to live in or near was San Francisco at No. 2, San Diego at No. 3, Seattle at No. 4, Las Vegas at No. 5, Honolulu at No. 6, Denver and Atlanta tying for No. 7, Chicago at No. 9, Boston at No. 10, Los Angeles at No. 11, Portland, Ore., and Phoenix tied for No.12, Orlando at No. 14 and Austin, Texas at No. 15.
