The HDI is a comprehensive measure of well-being developed by the United Nations Development Programme that considers educational attainment, financial stability, and life expectancy.
Despite the wealth and strong economy of the United States, the latest HDI report shows that it ranks behind 19 other countries known for similarly democratic and free market values.
Using criteria inspired by the HDI, 24/7 Wall St. ranked the 40 best U.S. counties to live in based on life expectancy, education levels, and poverty rates.
Counts from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2022 American Community Survey were utilized to provide a holistic view of quality of life in the top-ranking counties.
