About the Well-Being Atlas
This website is maintained by Adam Duhachek and Vishal Singh. It provides data visualizations on psychological well-being using prominent datasets from the research literature.
Each piece is a self-contained, hand-built data essay: every figure is computed from survey microdata with the appropriate sampling weights and traced back to a reproducible script. The aim is to read these sources honestly — reporting effect sizes plainly, flagging where a result is within noise, and staying inside the construct each survey item actually measures.
