However, 31% of the respondents reported suffering from chronic illnesses or conditions, underscoring a notable health concern within the community.

The survey also delved into aspects of personal satisfaction, employing a scale from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (completely satisfied). Personal relationships received an impressive average score of 8.6, indicating a high level of contentment in this area.
