En ny meningsmåling rangerer næsten 200 amerikanske samfund baseret på deres beboers trivsel.
Resultaterne er baseret på en undersøgelse af trivsel udført i 2015 og 2016 af Gallup-Healthways. Undersøgelsen omfattede personer i 189 metroområder, og resultaterne blev gennemsnitligt over en to-års periode.
Til afstemningen interviewede forskere mere end 354.000 amerikanske voksne i alle 50 stater. Forskerne beregnet en trivselsscore for hvert samfund baseret på deltagernes svar på spørgsmål om forskellige aspekter af deres velvære, herunder deres følelse af formål, sociale forhold, økonomiske liv, samfundsinddragelse og fysisk sundhed.
