Proportion of respondents scoring 5-6 to the question "Overall, how happy did you feel yesterday?" (9104) Metric type
- Help text
- This measure is the proportion of respondents scoring 5-6 to the question "Overall, how happy did you feel yesterday?". Data is derived by Office for National Statistics (ONS) from the Annual Population Survey (APS). People are asked to respond on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is 'not at all' and 10 is 'completely'. Thresholds: a response of 0-4 is Low, 5-6 is Medium, 7-8 is High and 9-10 is Very high. Well-being is a key issue for the Government and ONS are leading a programme of work to develop new measures of national well-being. People with higher well-being have lower rates of illness, recover more quickly and for longer, and generally have better physical and mental health.
