Naples (Once Again) Named Happiest and Healthiest Community in Nation

by

We already know things are good here in Southwest Florida. Turns out, it may be about as good as it gets.

For the second year in a row, Naples topped the list in the annual Gallup and Healthways Community Well-Being Rankings. The survey gauged the responses of more than 350,000 Americans on a variety of factors, including community pride, stress levels, financial security, physical well-being and more. The Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island area just beat out Barnstable Town, Massachusetts, for the top spot.

Southwest Florida, in general, did pretty well. Cape Coral-Fort Myers came in at 38. North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton wasn’t too far behind Naples, at sixth overall.
