Life satisfaction score is not really linked to the kind of area where people live

In mainland France in 2017, people aged 16 or more assigned an average satisfaction score of 7.2 out of 10 for the live they are currently leading. This satisfaction level depends on the material conditions under which people live, but also on multiple other factors, such as health, age, family situation or employment for those of working age. However, it is quite uniform across the country: the inhabitants of large urban centres and their commuting zone, those in smaller urban areas and rural areas have similar average levels of satisfaction with their lives.
