Una nueva encuesta clasifica a casi 200 comunidades estadounidenses en función del bienestar de sus residentes.
Los resultados se basan en una encuesta de bienestar realizada en 2015 y 2016 por Gallup-Healthways. La encuesta incluyó personas en 189 áreas metropolitanas y los puntajes se promediaron durante un período de dos años.
Para la encuesta, los investigadores entrevistaron a más de 354,000 adultos estadounidenses en los 50 estados. Los investigadores calcularon una puntuación de bienestar para cada comunidad, en función de las respuestas de los participantes a las preguntas sobre diferentes aspectos de su bienestar, incluido su sentido de propósito, relaciones sociales, vida financiera, participación comunitaria y salud física.
