To live your best, happiest life, pack up and head to either California … or the Dakotas. That's WalletHub's take, based on the cities it found are happiest, with the Golden State claiming four cities in its top 10 and North and South Dakota taking a total of three. The site looked at more than 180 cities across three main metrics—emotional and physical well-being, jobs and income, and community and environment. The top 10 cities, along with their happiness ratings (100 indicating "maximum happiness"):
- Fremont, Calif.; 79.9 (No. 1 in the "Community and Environment")
- Bismarck, ND; 78.4 (No. 1 in the "Income and Employment")
- San Jose, Calif.; 76.4 (No. 1 in the "Emotional and Physical Well-Being")
- Pearl City, Hawaii; 75.2
