Lots of things go into quality of life, and they're different in different countries. While people in Norway enjoy extremely clean air and water, people in the US enjoy hefty paychecks.

But these are just two ingredients for a good life, as documented by the Organization for Economic Cooperation in their new Better Life Index.

The index ranks the quality of life in 34 countries, across 23 parameters in 11 different categories.

The OECD adjusted each score to show how much it falls above or below the average of the 34 countries. The high scores are in blue, which rise above 1. And the low scores are in red, which fall below -1. The chart also highlights those closer to the zero average in gray.

Here are scores from six countries, with more analysis at Tech Insider
