States closest to the national average in certain demographic characteristics:
 
-White population: IL (57.3% vs. national average of 57.6)
-Black population: NJ (15.2% vs. national average of 14.2)
-Hispanic population: NY (19.5%, pretty much exactly in line with national average)
-Asian population: IL (6.8% vs. national average of 7.2)
-4-year college degree attainment: NC (34.9%, pretty much exactly in line with national average)
-Median household income: AZ ($69,056 vs. national average of $69,717)
-HDI rating: KS (0.922 vs. national average of 0.921)
-Urbanization: OR (80.5% vs. national average of 80%)
-Couldn't find good data on religiosity, but I'd be curious as to what the most average state is in this regard.

IL has a higher black population, slightly lower Hispanic population than the country but it is more college-educated, wealthier and more urbanized.
