Caveats
- Weighted Annual Population Survey estimate for how happy respondents felt yesterday; it is not a clinical measure or a permanent trait.
- 95% confidence interval: 7.27 to 7.82 out of 10.
- Derived from the published point estimates for 149 upper-tier authorities with data. Exact ties share a rank. Overlapping confidence intervals mean nearby ranks may not be meaningfully different.
- The four ONS personal well-being questions are separate measures and must not be combined into one index.
- Higher means a higher mean self-reported happiness score.
