West Virginia is dead last...and a swath of states from North-west of there to South-west of there are all low ranked in the new Gallup results.
"All of the 10 lowest well-being states in 2014 have frequented this list in the past.
These state-level data are based on more than 176,000 interviews with U.S. adults across all 50 states, conducted from January to December 2014. The Well-Being Index is calculated on a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 represents the lowest possible well-being and 100 represents the highest possible well-being. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index score for the nation and for each state consists of metrics affecting overall well-being and each of the five essential elements of well-being."
"Alaska
rejoins the top five in 2014 after being among this elite group from
2009 to 2011, while Hawaii finished in the top two for the sixth time,
improving from the eighth spot in 2013. North Dakota tumbled from the top spot in 2013 to 23rd in
2014. North Dakota's drop was mostly attributable to a drop in its
residents' overall life evaluation, coupled with worsened health-related
behaviors such as higher smoking rates, reduced exercise and less
healthy eating compared with 2013."
