Released last week, the study surveyed Americans throughout 2009 on their health, financial status, happiness, exercise habits and work environment. The study broke down the information into a comparison of the 435 congressional districts nationwide.
And at the top of the list for overall well-being was U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo’s congressional district that stretches from Half Moon Bay down the coast to Santa Cruz and includes Mountain View, Palo Alto and other Peninsula cities.

Neighboring districts in San Francisco, San Mateo and San Jose also rated very high; however the situation was completely different on the other side of the bay. Fremont, Oakland and Vallejo were among the unhealthiest areas in the country.
