The report, “State of American Well-Being: 2015 State Rankings”, provides an overview of well-being trends within the United States. As in prior years, well-being in the U.S. exhibits regional patterns.
The northern plains and mountain west are higher well-being areas, along with some western states and pockets of the northeast and Atlantic.
The lowest well-being states are in the south and move north through the industrial Midwest.
Hawaii reclaimed the top spot among states in the U.S. for well-being as the highest well-being state, Alaska, slipped to second. Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Utah, Arizona and California rounded out the rest of the top 10.
West Virginia continued to have the lowest well-being in the nation, ranking 50th, as it has for seven straight years.
