SHARE NOW

There’s a small town in Texas called “Happy,” with the motto: “The Town without a Frown.” About 600 people live there…happily, I guess.

A study ranked more than 180 of America’s biggest cities by HAPPINESS . . . using factors like: Life satisfaction scores, depression rates, physical and emotional health, income growth, employment, job satisfaction, and weather.

The 10 happiest cities are: Fremont, California, Bismarck, North Dakota, Scottsdale, Arizona, South Burlington, Vermont, Fargo, North Dakota, Overland Park, Kansas, Charleston, South Carolina, Irvine, California, Gilbert, Arizona, and San Jose, California.

And the 10 at the bottom of the list are: Detroit, which ranked last at 182nd, Memphis, Shreveport, Louisiana, Cleveland, Huntington, West Virginia, Toledo, Ohio, Augusta, Georgia, Fort Smith, Arkansas, Dover, Delaware, and Akron, Ohio.
