Where are the happiest places to live in the United States and what makes a place happy?
WalletHub’s new 2025 report, Happiest States in America, examined each city based on 29 key indicators for happiness — like a positive mental state, healthy body, strong social connections, job satisfaction and financial well-being. — to determine the happiest places to live in the U.S. And, although the U.S. is one of the richest countries in the world, it ranks only 24th on the World Happiness Report. So the adage, money can't buy you love, must be true.
