“The GNH Index, built on 33 indicators in nine domains, rose from 0.743 in 2010 to 0.756 in 2015 and 0.781 in 2022; 48.1% of people were classed 'deeply' or 'extensively' happy in 2022 against 40.9% in 2010.”

Context. Survey data are produced by Bhutan's own research centre with OPHI; the index measures sufficiency, not happiness as such.
