Someone from NYC or California decides what someone needs to be considered healthy, and what someone needs to be of strong well being, and that makes it so. I suspect that if someone from the Midwest administered the questions, the results might be quite different.Quote

Yes, this is the study that they talked about on the radio.
Regarding the follow-up comments, this is about health.
Here is what they said about West Virginia, for example. Obviously one's mileage will vary.
"At the bottom of the list, West Virginia returns to last place for the eighth year in a row. The state’s obesity and smoking rates are “off the charts,” Witters said. The number of residents reporting they’ve had high blood pressure or diabetes in their lifetime is the highest in the nation.
West Virginia is also last when it comes to financial wellbeing, as well as purpose wellbeing — the category that asks: Do you get to do things that you like every day? Do you learn and grow?
“It’s a place that consistently, year after year, is on the low end of the wellbeing spectrum. We’d really like to see that get better for the sake of the residents who live there,” Witters said."
