We’re More Similar Than We Think
Description
New research reveals we’re more united than we feel — despite rising polarization, states are converging on key metrics, with Minnesota leading the pack. Across 31 measures covering well-being, democracy, economy, and environment, the data shows economic gains aren’t translating into happier citizens or stronger trust in institutions. While child mortality and income are improving nationwide, core issues like life satisfaction and civic confidence remain stagnant. The study warns that diverging lived experiences may fuel division — and urges local action as the path to real national progress.
