According to TIME, Hawaii is the number one in the United States in a well-being survey done in 2016. The city topped the physical, financial and community categories. The ranking was followed closely by Alaska and South Dakota.

Kentucky and West Virginia, on the other hand, were on the bottom list. They got the lowest tally in all the areas being measured.

Community well-being was evaluated through the pride of every resident and from this; Hawaiians garnered a score of 70%. In addition, 86% of people in Hawaii felt safe and secure while West Virginians have a lesser sense of security and pride.

However, residents with better financial status don’t always mean having higher incomes. Furthermore, in the most intellectually curious category, Vermonters with 71% learning or doing something interesting daily ranked number one. Southern and Midwestern states grabbed the lowest score, which is mainly due to low exercise and elevated obesity rates.
