INDIANAPOLIS — Hoosiers aren't very happy. At least, that's what Gallup's latest "Well-Being Index" says.
The Hoosier state ranked in the bottom 10 for 2018 along with several other Southern and Midwestern states.
Gallup's poll is based on more than 115,000 surveys with US adults across all 50 states from 2018.
They rank states based on answers to five categories:
- Career: 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.
As you can see in the image below, Gallop's poll shows the lowest well-being states are concentrated in the South and extend northward through the industrial Midwest. 
If you want to be happier, this poll suggests you move to the Northern Plains or the Mountain West or Hawaii, which ranked highest in three elements. Alaska wasn't far behind, maybe living on an island has its perks?
