Jajak pendapat baru memberi peringkat hampir 200 komunitas A.S. berdasarkan pada kesejahteraan penghuninya.
Hasilnya didasarkan pada survei kesejahteraan yang dilakukan pada 2015 dan 2016 oleh Gallup-Healthways. Survei tersebut mencakup orang-orang di 189 wilayah metro, dan skornya dirata-rata selama periode dua tahun.
Untuk jajak pendapat, para peneliti mewawancarai lebih dari 354.000 orang dewasa A.S. di 50 negara bagian. Para peneliti menghitung skor kesejahteraan untuk masing-masing komunitas, berdasarkan jawaban partisipan terhadap pertanyaan tentang berbagai aspek kesejahteraan mereka, termasuk perasaan tujuan, hubungan sosial, kehidupan finansial, keterlibatan masyarakat, dan kesehatan fisik.
