Men and women perceive local well-being somewhat differently, according to an analysis of statistical data from the Second LWBI Regional Top by the Rating Lab.

Men and women rate the overall level of local well-being rather similarly.
We also do not observe differences in the assessment of the orderliness of the settlement and the level of education and medicine.
On the other hand, on average, women have a more positive emotional perception of the settlement (0.52 on a scale from -1 to +1) than men (0.37).
In contrast, men have a slightly more positive view of the state of civil security (0.29 compared to 0.14 among women).
The average economic opportunity index is negative for both men and women, but the score among men is relatively better (-0.75 compared to -0.89 for women).
