Really? For the best climate in the world and amazing natural beauty 14 is good? North Dakota wth no natural advantages beats it.
But your post was most effective by exposing the fact that 9 out 10 worst states for well being are solid red ones. For one, would you want to move to Oklahoma? No way! Of course, I didn't think so.
Your post easily proves how conservatives, who are desperate to prove how much better the conservative states are, need to do their homework better.

4 of the top 10 are Blue States. Isn't it weird that the OP left off VT, DE and CO which are in the top ten.
Blue State HI is #1 and OP tried so hard to discredit HI by saying "if you factor in cost" and then somehow OP simply wiped HI, which is #1, off the top spot.
Somehow, the OP did not comprehend the information. The list did factor in costs.
"Financial: managing your economic life to reduce stress and increase security."

Once again, OP seems to have missed some key information.
"five essential elements of wellbeing:
Career: liking what you do each day and being motivated to achieve your goals
Social: having supportive relationships and love in your life
Financial: managing your economic life to reduce stress and increase security
Community: liking where you live, feeling safe and having pride in your community
Physical: having good health and enough energy to get things done daily"
Got to wonder what that's about, given that everything has been going so great the last two years.
Probably the continued march towards oligarchy, rule by wealth. As inequality skyrockets, alcoholism, suicides, overdoses, broken homes and overall social despair follows.

Epic fail on your part. The criteria have nothing to do with climate. From your link:
Career: liking what you do each day and being motivated to achieve your goals Social: having supportive relationships and love in your life Financial: managing your economic life to reduce stress and increase security Community: liking where you live, feeling safe and having pride in your community Physical: having good health and enough energy to get things done daily
These are surveys trying to rank subjective criteria. Lol, how does one rank the weather, cost of living etc together into a "well being" index? Sounds like click bait to me.
Hawaii is beautiful but too isolated for me. California is my favorite spot in the USA, followed by NYC to New England. These areas are expensive because of jobs and foreigners buying properties there.
Alaska is also very very nice. Colorado as well. Washington. Florida, eh, maybe (Miami is not too bad, everything else hell no)?
Much of the interior of the USA, no thanks. I've been there, it's so weirdly depressing and dystopian. Flip side is everyone is nice.
Oh, for someone who said California has the best weather - I disagree, that's Portugal

That decrease in wellbeing may simply be a reflection of the makeup of the new House of Representatives.
Or perhaps the presence of the spacecadets and dingbats who have wrested control away from Pelosi.
Hard to tell.
Any, way, more people have jobs and jobs are paying better so it seems OK to me.
