- The Sharecare Community Well-Being Index compiles more than 600 data points spread across five categories of personal well-being (physical, social, community, purpose, and financial) and five types of social health (healthcare access, food access, resource access, housing and transportation, and economic security). These data are then compiled into a single health score.
The well-being of individuals varies significantly across the United States, with certain states consistently ranking higher than others in terms of overall health and happiness. States like Hawaii and Massachusetts consistently lead the nation in well-being, scoring the highest marks across various metrics such as physical health, social connections, community engagement, and financial stability. These states prioritize initiatives that promote holistic well-being, fostering environments where residents can thrive both personally and professionally.
On the other hand, states like Mississippi and West Virginia face greater challenges in terms of well-being, scoring lower on measures of health, social support, and economic security.
