As expected, the US makes it to the top ten only if you very single-mindedly value housing (ie. huge suburban houses) and income above everything else such as safety, environment, work–life balance, and actual life satisfaction! Otherwise you see the usual suspects at the top: the Nordics, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Netherlands, then followed by the US, the UK, Germany etc. Some of the metrics also seem rather dubious: the US scores high in health despite the well-known failings of its healthcare system.
