The best states for well-being — #5 is Montana

Hawaii almost managed to reclaim its spot at the top of the rankings for well-being, a year after tumbling to No. 8. Almost.

And of the dozens of states that could have been its rival, the winner is practically its polar opposite: Alaska.

Yes, in Gallup-Healthways’ just-released 2014 index, it’s snowy, frigid, isolated Alaska that ranks as the best state for overall well-being. It’s a sharp rise from a year earlier, when Alaska was No. 16 — and the first time Alaska has topped the list.

#5 Montana

Big Sky Country did pretty well for itself, ranking No. 2 in the community category and coming in the top 10 in the purpose, community and physical categories. However, the state is lagging behind on the social category, which measures supportive and loving relationships: It ranks No. 33.
