Happiest districts in the country
Well, I guess we made Number 32 of the happiest districts in America, according to a new Gallup Poll. We're in District 17. The territory just north of us, District 14, was the Happiest District of all. If you go to the State and Congressional District Resource for Well-Being web page you can use the Quick Report Builder to get maps or comparison tables of either states or districts and find out where your area ranked.
I don't think anyone whose area ranked lower in some ways should feel bad about it if they love the place in which they live. Not all of us relish the same things in life. And the truth is that different perks bring with them different stresses that people tend to adjust to over time. I wouldn't be happy waiting days for a call to evactuate for a hurricane, but I'm content to live in a place where the ground beneath shakes hard now and then. We each have to decide what well-being is for us and find a way to have that in the place that we make our home base.
