This study examines the relationship between wealth, place of residence, and socio-economic and demographic factors with the likelihood of experiencing depression among individuals aged 15 and above in Indonesia, using data from the 2014 Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) and a logistic regression approach. Depression was measured using the CESD score with a cut-off of 20, while wealth was proxied by the logarithm of per capita expenditure and place of residence by an urban dummy variable. The analysis revealed a significant association between wealth and place of residence with the likelihood of experiencing depression, where wealthier individuals and those living in rural areas were less likely to experience depression. These findings also provide empirical evidence of the paradox of progress in Indonesia.
