New Mexico: Great for green chile, but bad for millennials, according to a recent study.

WalletHub has found that in a list of the best states for millennials — which includes the District of Columbia — New Mexico ranks 51.

States were ranked — one being the best and 51 being the worst — by affordability, education and health, quality of life, economic health and civic engagement, and New Mexico was ranked in the lower 40s on each category.

The District claimed the number one spot with the top rankings in education and health, quality of life and civic engagement.

According to the study, millennials were defined as individuals born between 1981 and 1997.
