Vermont Ranked #6 for Well Being

Gallup and Healthways have been polling 1,000 people a day for 25 months to determine the best (and worst) cities and states to live in for well-being.

Experts in disciplines from economics to psychology created a 42 question survey to determine how people were fairing professionally, emotionally, socially and physically. They provide this information (the largest such database in the world at over 725,000) to agencies to help improve the well-being of people and push policies where they are needed most.

Though no city in Vermont is large enough to be considered for city rankings, the state did score a high #6 for state rankings. Scoring first was Hawaii.
