2023 Happiness Report: happiness lives here!

Austria consistently ranks 11th in the World Happiness Report. Why is it so wonderful to live in the Alpine region of Tyrol & Salzburg Land?

While Germany has dropped two places to 16th in the current World Happiness Report, Austria has remained in 11th place. Despite various crises, people in the Alpine region of Tyrol & Salzburg Land still feel happy. Is it the mountains, the nature, or the carefree attitude to life that triggers this sense of happiness?

What determines happiness?
The researchers use data provided by the Gallop Institute from the past three years to determine the rankings in their annual report. They have identified six key factors that impact on people’s happiness in a country:

• social support
• ​income
• health
• freedom
• generosity, and
• lack of corruption
  

Wealth makes people happy
According to the report, people are most satisfied in countries like Austria, where wealth is relatively evenly distributed across the population. “Average happiness and our country rankings...have been remarkably stable during the three COVID-19 years,” explains John Helliwell, a researcher involved in producing the report.

The quest for happiness, or rather for being happy, is probably as old as humanity itself. Happiness is far more than a chemical composition. Researchers have been studying the reasons behind happiness for many years. Two things have become apparent in the process: both a rich social life with family and friends and outdoor exercise are proven recipes for happiness. Thanks to the friendliness of its inhabitants and its unique landscapes, the Alpine region of Tyrol & Salzburg Land provides the perfect ingredients.
