Four of the eight highest-ranked U.S. cities in terms of overall happiness are situated in California.

As Statista's Florian Zandt details below, according to an analysis by WalletHub, only one city not located on the United States' west coast managed to break into the top 3 last year.

The city in question is Columbia, Maryland, which ranks second on WalletHub's index of the 182 happiest U.S. cities. When looking at the individual scores for each of the three dimensions analyzed, the picture portrayed changes quite a bit. For example, Columbia is ranked as one of the worst cities when it comes to income and employment, a category encompassing poverty rates, job satisfaction, job security, weekly work hours or underemployment rate, but ranks fifth and third in terms of emotional and physical well-being and community and environment, respectively.

The top city in the latter category, which includes separation and divorce rate, hate crime incidence and leisure time spent per day, is Casper, Wyoming, coming in 79th place overall.

Fremont, on the other hand, is not only the number one happiest city in the U.S. according to WalletHub, but also scored top marks in the well-being category, which takes into consideration issues like depression and suicide rates, adequate sleep, sports participation and food insecurity.

We have only one question: if everyone in California is so 'happy', why are we seeing record numbers exiting the state and birth rates plummeting?

Yeah, Columbia because it’s full of Fed hacks who know just enough to thank their lucky stars every day that they get paid by the guv several times what any sane private employer would pay them.

2 weeks ago, San Jose politicians requested HOME OWNERS to take in “THE HOMELESS” because they couldn’t build facilities quickly enough for them all.

Let’s see:

I would ask for:
a drug offender OR
a sexual predator OR
an alcoholic OR
a drug dealer OR
a mentally disturbed person.... OR.......

All those CHOICES!!!!!!!

You seldom have time or funds to enjoy those things.

However we still get to enjoy the drive by shootings
Illegals doing their shopping (parking lots)
Home invasions
Earth quakes
car jacking........................................

It’s because half the people polled, when asked if they’re “happy” replied, “Que papi?” and were marked as happy.
