Supplementary notes

* Gallup classifies Americans as "thriving" according to how they rate their current and future lives on a ladder scale with steps numbered from 0 to 10, based on the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale. Those who rate their current life a 7 or higher, and their anticipated life in five years an 8 or higher, are classified as thriving.
** Data compiled from multiple Gallup Panels and samples from the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index.
