(argusleader.com) - How happy and healthy are you?
If you live in South Dakota, the odds are you have a higher well-being than the entire lower contiguous 48 states.
A report released Thursday by Gallup-Healthways lists South Dakota as No. 3 union wide for well-being. Alaska is No. 1 and Hawaii No. 2.
The rankings use five categories to determine the overall well-being. South Dakota ranked first in two categories: Social and community. Social measures "having supportive relationships and love in your life" and community measured "liking where you live, feeling safe and having pride in your community."
A breakdown of the other categories and where South Dakota ranked:
• Purpose (liking what you do each day and being motivated to achieve your goals): 5
• Financial (managing your economic life to reduce stress and increase security): 5
• Physical (having good health and enough energy to get things done daily): 11.
