There is no shortage of reasons why being in Naples, Florida can make any person happy if not a bit at least satisfied. The warm sunshiny climate, the freshest seafood and the most romantic beaches that have no equal anywhere else in the world are surely things that can make any person get up from bed with a big smile across the face. This is true both in tourists and the locals here. Tourists get their fill of the hotels that provide excellent service and then get all excited because of the many things to do while the locals feel a strong sense of pride in their communities and a great sense of purpose in doing their livelihood.
But don’t take our word for it; this is all backed up by recent data. According to The Community Well Being Index, Naples rated high in terms of physical, emotional, social, financial and community health. This massive study contains the survey and interviews of over 350,000 people across the country and the results were released just last year. This means people in Naples, Florida enjoy a relatively high nutritional intake, lowest daily stress levels, and the least number of clinically depressed patients.
This is further backed by Time Magazine when they listed down their top ten highest well-being communities in America. One major factor, their report claims, is that communities that have generally happy residents belong in more temperate or more tropical climates if not in places that are close to the sea. Their results, thus, included communities in Hawaii, in California and of course, communities in Florida as well.
However, a community’s well-being does not end in the climate alone; the average financial income plays a crucial role as well. Most residents in Naples city enjoy a high rate of financial stability. According to Yahoo Finance, residents in Naples mostly enjoy a median income that is “well above” the national average. The people of Naples city’s potent purchasing power is reflected by the number of shops, especially in the downtown area that sell luxury brands, their love for sophisticated fine arts as seen in the art galleries in the city and their avidness for the sport of golf which is not an inexpensive sport.
Health is also a factor. People who generally lead a healthy lifestyle tend to worry about fewer illnesses and are less likely to suffer from obesity. Based on the Gallup Healthways State of American Well-Being, people around Naples, Immokalee and areas around Marco Island enjoy the best state of health among Americans and that contributes greatly to their overall levels of happiness. And take note that they have been ranked as such for two years in a row now.
