For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. Idaho never had a Democratic trifecta during the period of the study, but the state has had a Republican trifecta from 1995 to 2013, and before that divided government between 1992 and 1994. The Idaho state legislature has been in Republican hands since 1992. The state’s lowest SQLI ranking came near the bottom-10 class (40th) in 1999 and 2000 under a Republican trifecta, while its highest ranking (17th) also occurred under a Republican trifecta in 2007. Idaho made its largest leap in the SQLI ranking between the years 2011 and 2012, jumping nine spots in the SQLI ranking in a single year. </p> <ul><li>SQLI average with Democratic trifecta: N/A</li> <li>SQLI average with Republican trifecta: 28.50</li> <li>SQLI average with divided government: 31.00</li></ul> <div class="center"><div class="thumb tnone"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:1002px;"><a href="/File:Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG" class="image"><img alt="" src="https://ballotpedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG/1000px-Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG" decoding="async" width="1000" height="105" class="thumbimage" srcset="https://ballotpedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/5/5a/Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG 1.5x" data-file-width="1119" data-file-height="118" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/File:Idaho_SQLI_visualization.PNG" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div>Chart displaying the partisanship of Idaho government from 1992-2013 and the State Quality of Life Index (SQLI).</div></div></div></div> <div id="div-gpt-ad-1548351761485-0"><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1548351761485-0"); });</script></div><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="See_also">See also</span></h2> <ul><li><a href="/Ballotpedia:Who_runs_the_states" class="mw-redirect" title="Ballotpedia:Who runs the states">Ballotpedia:Who runs the states</a> <ul><li><a href="/Ballotpedia:Who_Runs_the_States,_Part_One:_State_Partisanship" title="Ballotpedia:Who Runs the States, Part One: State Partisanship">Ballotpedia:Who Runs the States, Part One: State Partisanship</a></li> <li><a href="/Ballotpedia:Who_Runs_the_States,_Part_Two:_State_Quality_of_Life_Index_(SQLI)" title="Ballotpedia:Who Runs the States, Part Two: State Quality of Life Index (SQLI)">Ballotpedia:Who Runs the States, Part Two: State Quality of Life Index (SQLI)</a></li></ul></li> <li><a href="/Governor_of_Idaho" title="Governor of Idaho">Governor of Idaho</a></li> <li><a href="/Idaho_State_Senate" title="Idaho State Senate">Idaho State Senate</a></li> <li><a href="/Idaho_House_of_Representatives" title="Idaho House of Representatives">Idaho House of Representatives</a></li></ul> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Additional_information">Additional information</span></h3> <ul><li><a href="/ALEC_Rich_States,_Poor_States_Report" title="ALEC Rich States, Poor States Report">ALEC Rich States, Poor States Report</a></li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="External_links">External links</span></h2> <ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="https://docs.google.com/a/lucyburns.org/spreadsheets/d/1Lxeot3i-sYXJo1mPg4Nbe-_GFUujg0aEvUf_bgN8j7Q/edit#gid=1161541724">Full Dataset on Google Docs</a></li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Footnotes">Footnotes</span></h2> <p> <script type="text/javascript"> if(document.getElementsByClassName("reference").length==0) if(document.getElementById('Footnotes')!==null) document.getElementById('Footnotes').parentNode.style.display = 'none'; </script> </p> <div class="references-small"><div class="mobile-columns"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><a href="#cite_ref-1">↑</a></span> <span class="reference-text">Note: The average rank is compiled by adding up all years of rankings and then dividing by 21 to obtain the average state ranking.
