The 2025 World Happiness Report indicates a notable increase in solo dining in the US, with 26% of adults eating every meal alone. This figure, drawn from 235,000 responses over two decades, has seen a more than 50% rise since 2003, particularly among those under 35 and individuals living alone. Factors such as a growing number of single-person households, irregular work schedules, and the rise of remote work contribute to this trend. The report emphasizes that sharing meals is a stronger indicator of happiness than economic factors like income or employment status.
The report reveals that one in four US adults reported eating all meals alone, a significant trend that correlates with a decline in overall well-being.
