Abstract: This paper we analyze various dimensions of the quality of life of people living in Montevideo. We found out that the satisfaction with various public goods and services at the neighborhood level play a minor role in the overall reported well being of individuals and in the satisfaction of life domains, such as leisure, social life, family, health, housing, neighborhood economic situation and work. This is in spite the fact that there are significant disparities in a wide range of indicators among those living in different areas of the city. Our results suggest that the differences in overall happiness and in domain satisfaction are mostly due to differences in individual outcomes like education, health, labor situation and housing quality
