Diversity is negatively correlated with every basic measure of social health
Your hypothesis is most obviously disproven by the high quality of ethnic restaurants in diverse areas. Variety being the spice of life and all, that positively impacts my social health. I would think the the more diverse an area the happier and healthier?

Putnam asked the happiness question directly
quote:
‘All things considered, would you say you are very happy, happy, not very happy, or not happy at all?’
The more diverse a community, the unhappier respondents were.
I think one of the problems with diversity is threat perception. We have trouble understanding and predicting the behavior of people from alien cultures. And our natural response is to withdraw, because the uncertainty makes us physically insecure.
If we can’t tell who is dangerous, or could be dangerous, the only safe thing to do is retreat.
Edit - I do appreciate your point about restaurants. I grew up outside of Washington DC, and if I miss anything from that area, it’s the food. I loved the Afghan restaurants especially.
The happiest I’ve ever been is living in rural Montana and Wyoming.
