* A different study which ranks states according to the amount of charitable income given is here. Notes: Election results list on Wikipedia page now removed. More data here. Happiness data derived from two data sets. One included subjective personal reports of happiness, while the other included objective measures, such as state population density, air quality, home prices + other factors known to normally impact quality of life. However, the latter method would not necessarily denote the happiest people. Miscl. data: Massachusetts had the highest percentage of Catholics at 36 percent, New York, Illinois and New Hampshire also had 50 or more Catholic legislators: http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/population/religion.html. The Happiness rating: http://www.livescience.com/culture/091217-happy-state-list.html. Of additional interest may be the massive U.S. Religious Landscape Survey: http://religions.pewforum.org/reports. Also Barna Poll on U.S. Religious Belief 2001 http://www.adherents.com/misc/BarnaPoll.html. PDF download of this page here.

Ping for those who might like stats.
great link ! thanks for posting !
the list of happiest and most unhappy states is just fascinating... although anyone who listens to Rush would know who was who
I think Rush understands better than anyone the unhappiness and depression that are at the core of liberalism
Income ranking average
RED= 33.26
BLUE=17.0
Charity to giving ranking
RED= 18.52
BLUE=30.5
Happiness ranking average
RED= 18.36
BLUE=34.10
Have not checked them out, but what i see is that the read states seem to be highest in per capita giving on my chart (using a 2009 page no longer available): Utah (1) Oklahoma (2) Wyoming (4) Georgia (5) Alabama (6) South Carolina (7) North Carolina (9)), and red states are the 9 highest in giving on http://philanthropy.com/article/Sharing-the-Wealth-How-the/133605/
The happy rank is actually rather inconsistent i think. And as noted, “Happiness data is derived from two data sets. One included subjective personal reports of happiness, while the other included objective measures, such as state population density, air quality, home prices + other factors known to normally impact quality of life. However, the latter method would not necessarily denote the happiest people.
High population density is strongly correlated with leftism. People living in closer quarters experience more envy so are drawn into the politics of envy. Cities are Democrat factories, the suburbs and beyond Republican. Democrats hate the suburbs, which are still in their visual range, and want to restrict them to reduce their painful feelings of envy.
