1. Hawaii

Well-Being Index: 65.2
Hawaii claimed the top spot for well-being for the sixth time since tracking began in 2008. Not only does the Aloha State have the highest overall well-being score, it also tops the list for three of the five ranked factors: financial security, sense of community and physical health. Still, it ranked near the bottom for social connectedness, at No. 46.
