I'm fine with Florida at 12.

Shit is all so subjective though. I know a couple guys who spent time living in Hawaii and hated it. Meanwhile Lewdog talks up Montana (or is it North Dakota) like it's prime living.

That does it. I'm moving two miles west and bumping my quality of life up big time now!

I think it's the Columbia and St. Louis side of the state dragging us down. Because KC is awesome and the Ozarks can be too.

I wouldn't call it subjective; it's based on a survey that simply asked people to rate their own happiness in terms of purpose, social, financial, community, and physical attributes, which is a pretty objective way of measuring it.

You're definitely right that there's a lot of VARIATION in opinion, though. I'm sure there are people that love West Virginia and those that hate Hawaii.

Did they survey Arizona in the summer or the winter?

It's a continuous, year-round survey.

Isn't that like the textbook definition of subjective?

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

I downloaded the report itself, and they did 177,281 surveys for 2015, so an average of around 3500 per state (though they probably vary it a bit due to population differences).

I don't really know much about this study, but with it only being 5 questions, I'd bet they're piggybacking those questions on other studies they're doing for other clients to get the sample sizes up.

Thanks. The results are very interesting in terms of geographic grouping.

Yep. I actually think the map is more informative than the individual state rankings:

Not sure how Illinois manages to rank in the 4th Quintile when being surrounded by 5th's and being run by a Governor that refuses to sign a budget.
