The paper finds that，based on data analysis，the life satisfaction of urban residents has improved in 2014. This year’s survey shows that，on the one hand，indices such as anti-occupation，social security，and personal economic condition have pulled up the satisfaction level effectively. Furthermore，indicators such as individual confidence over future development and government’s capacity on social management have reached the highest level over these years. However，on the other hand，people’s price tolerance has pulled down the satisfaction level. With government’s effort on promoting employment，increasing minimum wages，and providing better social security，low income group has great improvement on their life satisfaction level，and life satisfaction scores have converged among different income groups. Urban residents held relatively high confidence over the future of China and the perspective of individual development. But it is still significant that anxiety over social problems such as high housing price，food and drug safety，soaring price on daily necessities，unemployment，and wealth polarization，affects urban residents’ life satisfaction level.
