There may be some correlation between this index and a thread posted the other day regarding Southern States.

These state-level data are based on more than 178,000 interviews with American adults across all 50 states, conducted from January-December 2013. Gallup and Healthways started tracking state-level well-being in 2008. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index score for the nation and for each state is an average of six sub-indexes, which individually examine life evaluation, emotional health, work environment, physical health, healthy behaviors, and access to basic necessities.
The Well-Being Index is calculated on a scale of 0 to 100, where a score of 100 represents ideal well-being. Well-Being Index scores among states varied within a nine-point range in 2013. The Well-Being Index score for the nation in 2013 dipped to 66.2 from 66.7 in 2012, and matches the previous low, measured in 201

Alabama's would be higher if the state didn't have so much small-town mentality.
I can't tell you how many people I know that think "this town is good enough as it is, we don't need no other box store or fact'ry".
Ughhh.

What I find is the well being index is mainly states with people who live there because they choose. The states who score low are states where people have little mobility. It's not that the states are bad, or great, it's that a large part of the population chooses to live there for reasons other than family (money, scenery, quality of life, etc)

I'm sure the Big XII is still trotting out the line that WVU was an upgrade over TAMU and MU.
