Hawaii tops Gallup’s National Health and Well-Being Index for the seventh time, while West Virginia scores the lowest for the 10th year straight.
The Aloha State topped Gallup’s National Health and Well-Being Index, released on Wednesday, with residents reporting the highest scores on how they feel about their health, their relationships, their careers, their finances and their communities over anyone else in the country.
The states were then scored on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 representing the lowest possible well-being, and 100 the highest possible. Hawaii topped the chart with a Well-Being Index Score of 64.6, topping the 50 states in career, social and financial well-being, as well as being among the top-ranked states in community and physical health well-being.
While these rankings didn’t rate the weather, the balmy temperatures , and the islands’ sandy beaches and diverse landscapes of mountains and jungles don’t hurt. On the flip side, West Virginians reported the lowest well-being for the 10th year in a row, with the lowest scores for career well-being, community and physical health. West Virginia was also on the bottom of WalletHub’s happiness rankings. It was 47 on the U.S. News list of overall best and worst state rankings , noting that declining coal production and low energy prices have hurt the state’s economy and given it one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.
