The Thriving States of America

Atlantic Cities: The Thriving States of America

The survey, part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, asks:

Please imagine a ladder with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time? On which step do you think you will stand about five years from now?

What do you make of this map? I'm curious about Oklahoma.

States are too disparate for good comparisons. I would like to see this scale on a county-level map.

Agreed. That would be more helpful.
