"Regardless of your role in the community — be it an employer, civic leader, private citizen or any combination thereof — investing in the well-being of others is critical," says Sharecare CEO and founder Jeff Arnold.

As part of the Gallup-Sharecare State of American Well-Being series, the report ranks states across five elements of well-being:

• Purpose: liking what you do each day and being motivated to achieve your goals;
• Social: having supportive relationships and love in your life;
• Financial: managing your economic life to reduce stress and increase security;
• Community: liking where you live, feeling safe, and having pride in your community;
• Physical: having good health and enough energy to get things done daily.

Results are based on telephone interviews conducted Jan. 2 – Dec. 30, 2017, as a part of the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index, with a random sample of 160,498 adults. The national Well-Being Index score dropped from 62.1 in 2016 to 61.5 in 2017, out of a possible score of 100.
