America is known as a melting pot full of people from all over the world, blended together various cultures all into one. But some places of the U.S. have more of a diverse make-up than others. The finance website WalletHub decided to find out which states were the most diverse looking at certain key factors including income diversity, educational-attainment diversity, racial and ethnic diversity, linguistic diversity, birthplace diversity, industry diversity, occupational diversity, worker-class diversity, marital-status diversity, generational diversity, household-type diversity and household size diversity.
