How Happy is Your Congressional District?

Noted on CNN today:

In an unprecedented alliance for American health transformation, Gallup, Healthways and America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) are providing a new national pulse of individual and collective health and well-being, as well as solutions for a healthy America.

The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being IndexTM, a unique twenty-five year partnership in research and care, is an on-going daily survey that began in January 2008. It surveys 1,000 Americans 350 days per year.


One option for reviewing the survey data is by congressional district, (map).

The 7th, 8th, and 13th congressional districts all rank in the 4th quartile (60-80%). The two Philadelphia districts are in the cheeriest group.
