In 2022, people in the EU indicated a high level of satisfaction with their personal relationships. On a scale from 0 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied), they rated their satisfaction with personal relationships on average at 7.8, indicating a very slight decrease from the 7.9 in 2018.

Among the EU members, Malta, Austria and Slovenia recorded the highest rate of satisfaction with personal relationships, all at 8.6.

At the lower end of the scale, Bulgaria reported the lowest satisfaction rate with personal relationships, with an average rate of 6.0, followed by Croatia (7.2) and Greece (7.3).
