For an individual, sure, but not across a population. That is, I guess, unless you're suggesting that people in one area think a "5" is more like a "4" for people in other areas. That's possible, but I don't know of any research that has suggested that there are differences in perceptions of rating scales across regions of the U.S.
To put it another way:
"Are you happy?" Subjective
"On average, how happy are people in Texas?" Objective
