10. Washington, D.C., is the tenth happiest city in the United States. Wallesob's analysts found that it had the second highest suicide rate and the highest income growth rate of any city, meaning that the country's capital city was a pillar of democracy and the American dream. San Rosa, California, scores well in wallesub's income and employment categories, which take into account everything from poverty rates to job satisfaction to commuting time. S. Katherine Nelson Coffey, assistant professor of psychology at Southern University, told wallehub that an important factor in job satisfaction is autonomy - the feeling that you can make your own choices at work.

7. Like Oakland, San Diego, Calif., excels both physically and emotionally. It also has high scores in terms of income and employment. Huntington Beach, California, scores high on physical and emotional well-being. Specifically, it's tied to five other California cities because they have the lowest rates of depression and the fourth highest rates of obesity in the cities studied. Sioux Falls, South Dakota, didn't get enough attention last night? The people of Sioux falls asleep happily overnight. South Dakota has the highest sleep rate in the United States. But that doesn't mean that people there don't have time to make friends: Sioux Falls has also done quite well in the community and the environment. San Francisco, California

although San Francisco performs poorly in the community and environment categories, ranking 101 out of 150 categories, it scores well in the income and employment and emotional and physical health categories. It also helped the city rank third in the country in terms of obesity.

3. Irvine, California, is tied to wallesub's happiest city because it has the lowest obesity rate among the largest cities in the United States. It also ranks fifth with the lowest separation and divorce rates in the country. "Married people are happier than unmarried, separated and divorced people," said Maria Evans, an expert at valesseb and an associate professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.

1. Fremont, California, if you haven't noticed, California city has won eight of the 10 titles on this list. What do these cities have in common? Well, first of all, it's mild weather all the year round, Evans said. It's really important for happiness. We are sure that good weather alone does not explain the low obesity, separation and divorce rates in Fremont, but it may not hurt. Credit: what do you think of Amy lauhinhaus / Adobe stock?
