I am doing research on wellbeing, and I am trying to collect and analyze metrics related to many aspects of wellbeing: (as identified by the OECD) Housing, Income, Jobs, Community, Education, Environment, Civic Engagement, Health, Life Satisfaction, Safety, Work-Life Balance. I am looking for any and all metrics related to these categories.
I have found a few databases of proprietary metrics that have high costs. I am interested in free, valid questions available to anyone interested in measuring and tracking well-being.
you may look also at the Eurostat database, where you can find relevant metrics for the areas you are looking for.

Depends which countries you are interested in and what indicators. For objective indicators you can use the World Bank Data Base. The UN Development Reports have indicators for a whole range of variables that are collated for each report. If you want subjective indicators there is the European Social Survey and the World Values Survey - you can download the data sets for the web sites as files for each wave or a combined file for all the waves.
For macro indicators, you could check the European System of Social Indicators. It is an instrument to monitor European citizens' quality of life, societal social cohesion and sustainability as well as changes in the social structure of European societies. It is an ambitious project and rather incomplete, but you may find what you are after: http://www.gesis.org/en/social-indicators/products-of-the-zsi/simon-social-indicators-monitor/
The recent district development and diversity index report for India and major States by the U.S.-India policy Institute and centre for research and debates in development policy provides significant insight into the regional imbalances in Indias development story.
