I’ve been spending some time this morning playing with this infographic, released by the New York Times over the weekend, which shows the results of a Gallup poll in which 1,000 randomly selected American adults were called every day over the last three years, and asked questions like “Did you learn or do something interesting yesterday?” and “Is the city or area where you live getting better as a place to live?” Gallup then plugged those responses into an index called the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index — it’s a pretty fun way to kill a few minutes. So how does D.C. stack up?

Well, 66 percent of D.C. residents polled responded that they had learned or did something interesting, 85 percent said they experienced feelings of happiness during a “lot of the day,” 62 percent said they felt safe walking alone at night, 94 percent said they had health insurance and 88 percent said they were satisfied with the city when Gallup gave them a call. All in all, D.C.’s composite score was 69 — and on a range of 57 to 73, D.C. ranks relatively high, at least when you look at scores on the Congressional district level as presented in the Times infographic.

The study was developed when the Grey Lady asked Gallup to come up with a metric to find the “happiest” person in the country — which, as it turns out, is apparently Alvin Wong, a 5-foot-10, 69-year-old, Chinese-American, Kosher-observing Jew, who is married with children, lives in Honolulu, runs his own business and makes more than $120,000 a year.
