Want to be live among the happiest Americans? Move to Utah.

People in Utah report the highest levels of well-being, according to recent survey results from Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. West Virginia had the lowest score.

The index attempts to “measure what it is that people believe constitutes a good life, who is feeling good about life, and who is in need of a helping hand.” In general, the states where people reported feeling better about life were located primarily in the West, and lower well-being states were clustered in the Midwest and the South:

The index is also broken down into six smaller sub-indices: life evaluation, emotional health, physical health, healthy behavior, work environment and basic access.

The states that scored highest over all didn’t necessarily ace all of these subcategories. Hawaii, for example, had extremely high scores for every sub-index except for work environment — the category in which it had the lowest score of all the states.

If you’re interested in how happy and healthy people are in your area, go to the State and Congressional Resource for Well-Being home page. There, you can find well-being index numbers broken down by Congressional district level. You’ll discover, for example, that California’s 14th district, located between San Francisco to San Jose, has the highest well-being index level. That district, considered the birthplace of Silicon Valley, also happens to have the second highest median family income of all 435 districts — and the first highest median male income of any district in the country.

So are the residents of California’s 14th district better off and happier because they’re wealthier? Hard to say. If it helps you answer the question, here’s a scatterplot showing the relationship between a state’s median household income and its well-being:

Note the trend line illustrating the positive correlation (although not necessarily causation) between the two measures.
