Life Satisfaction Influenced by Education Level, Income and Churchgoing

Life satisfaction levels vary the most by three demographic attributes -- education level, annual household income and religious service attendance.

Majorities of Americans who attend religious services weekly (67%), have household incomes of $40,000 to $99,999 (52%) or $100,000 or more (61%), or earned college degrees (54%) are very satisfied with their own lives. Meanwhile, less than half of their counterparts express the highest level of satisfaction, though majorities still say they are very or somewhat satisfied.
